Assistant Professor Steve Nesbitt

Home | CV | Publications | Research Group | Teaching | About Me

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences here at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I am member of the Center for Water as a Complex Environmental System (CWACES). I am the president of the Central Illinois Chapter of the American Meteorological Society.

Our research group's research interests include:

  • the remote sensing of precipitation,
  • cloud-scale to mesoscale dynamics and microphysics of precipitating cloud systems (including mesoscale convective systems, MCSs),
  • quantifying environmental influences on storm structure and microphysics, and
  • understanding the interactions of precipitation and the land and ocean surface (including orographic precipitation).
