ARPS Model Development Team ARPS model development team is consisted of a number of scientists, supporting staff and graduate students. Here is a list of people in the team, along with their responsibilities involving ARPS as of September 1998. For a general picture of the CAPS organizational structure, click here. Scientists from Coastal Meteorology Research Program (CMRP) also made important contributions. First, the scientists and supporting staff: Dr. Ming Xue ( mxue@ou.edu ) - Project Director and Senior Research Scientist, responsible for overall project coordination and planning, model dynamics, code design and testing, module integration, User's Guide, and vector graphics. Dr. Kelvin Droegemeier (kkd@ou.edu) - Center Director and Professor of Meteorology, responsible for operational testing and evaluation, high-performance computing, model availability, documentation design, educational outreach. Dr. Vince Wong (vwong@ou.edu) - Senior research scientist responsible for physics development and testing. Dr. Keith Brewster (kbrewster@ou.edu) - Research Scientist responsible for the development and integration of the ARPS Data Analysis System (ADAS) as well as realtime data acquisition/ingest and assimilation system. Dr. Alan Shapiro(ashapiro@ou.edu) - Senior research scientist responsible for development of the forward-variational data assimilation system and single-Doppler retrieval algorithms. David Jahn (djahn@ou.edu) Associate Director of CAPS - User Support Group Leader. Dr. Dan Weber (dweber@ou.edu) (Research Scientist) - Development of terrain database management system, code optimization, model validation and testing. Dr. Richard Carpenter (rcarpenter@ou.edu) - Sr. Research scientist. Lead scientist of Hub-CAPS project. Dr. Gene Bassett (gbassett@ou.edu) - Sr. Research scientist, responsible for parallel implementation of ARPS, operational implementation for Hub-CAPS and CAPS.
