Biography

Dr. Mitchell's research has focused on the following areas: (1) theoretical understanding and modeling of the microphysical evolution within cirrus and frontal clouds, especially with regard to particle size spectra and crystal concentrations; (2) understanding and modeling the radiative properties of ice clouds; (3) remote sensing of cloud properties; (4) understanding and predicting the onset, strength and extent of the North American monsoon; (5) modification of cirrus clouds to reduce global warming
