ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE
College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Wyoming
United States of America
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.
