Sept. 2009: Dr. Junshik Um is seen working with the SPEC Inc. Cloud Particle Imager (CPI) in the cloud physics lab at the University of Manchester, England. Prof. McFarquhar and Dr. Um visited Manchester in August 2009 to check the calibration of the CPI, to compare the performance of the CPI against other CPIs in the cloud chamber at the University of Manchester, and to conduct an experiment on ice crystal aggregation in the cloud chamber.
February 2010: As part of the NSF-funded PLOWS field program, undergraduate students from the University of Illinois and several other mid-west universities were given the opportunity to fly on the NCAR C-130. Here, students are pictured after returning from a flight sampling winter storms.
Summer 2012: This month, Dr. Greg McFarquhar is seen overlooking the town of Clermont-Ferrand, France. Dr. McFarquhar spent the summer of 2012 collaborating with the group at the Universite Blaise Pascal, working on projects ranging from the microphysics of arctic clouds to the development/comparison of automated ice crystal habit recogniztion schemes, to the radiative properties of small ice crystals.
