Biography:

Mr. Larry Belcher received his MS in Atmospheric Science (2000) from Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, and a BS in Physics from Colorado State University (1997). His MS thesis is on the intercomparison of radar, profiler, and disdrometer observations of tropical convection during the NASA TRMM-LBA field program. He worked at NASA/GSFC for Science Systems and Applications Inc. (SSAI) for two years as a research scientist. He worked as a research associate at the North Carolina State University investigating airborne radar observations of mixed-phase altocumulus clouds. He then rejoined SSAI in 2004 at NASA/GSFC continuing his work on tropical precipitation processes. In 2005, he joined the Goddard Earth Sciences Technology Center at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County as a member of the scientific research staff. His current work continues to investigate tropical cloud systems and precipitation processes with an emphasis on airborne radar observations.
