Research Experience for Undergraduates
NSSL hosted six undergraduate students from May 30 through August 6, 2005, for the annual Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program coordinated by Daphne Zaras. During the ten weeks, students were mentored by scientists as they worked on different projects. Each project was presented in a symposium at the end of the program. REU participants include:
- Ariel Cohen, Ohio State University (Mike Coniglio, NSSL), "Discrimination Among Non-Severe, Severe, and Derecho Mesoscale Convective System Environments"
- Kate Hogan, North Carolina State University (Dave Schultz, Bob Johns, CIMMS), A Five-Year Climatology of Elevated Severe Convective Storms in the United States East of the Rocky Mountains"
- Rebekah LaBar, Central Washington University (Mike Douglas, NSSL), "The Llanos Low-Level jet and its association with Venezuelan Convective Precipitation"
- Angela Fritz, Valparaiso University (V. Lakshmanan, Eddie Forren, Travis Smith, CIMMS), "A Validation of Radar Reflectivity Quality Control Methods"
- Michelle Harrold, Valparaiso University (Greg Stumpf, NWS-MDL/CIMMS), "Hail Warning Decision Guidance"
