Description

We have been investigating the ability of agent-based models to simulate the behaviors of a collection of storm chasers for a range of tornadic storm properties. The model has been completed and we continue to run experiments and document the results. We expect to be formally writing up our results this Fall in order to submit a manuscript for eventual publication in an appropriate scientific journal.

Tasks and Responsibilities

The student will assist on several fronts: (1) collection of basic data for use in the model, such as road systems; (2) model-building (in the course of which he will be trained by me in Fortran coding); (3) model experiments.

Desired Qualifications
