Biography
Dr. Kelly’s primary research area for the last 20 years has been in the atmospheric boundary layer. Areas of activity have included aircraft instrumentation; eddy fluxes of sensible heat, latent heat, and momentum over various ecosystems in the U.S. and Canada; and lower boundary layer winds and turbulence with application to wind energy production and wind-flow patterns in complex terrain. Dr. Kelly has also been a member of the group that developed the 3-mm Doppler polarimetric radar for airborne use, and some of the first field applications of that radar.
