He has spent most of the past 30 years at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, where he has been a Senior Scientist since 1989, and Assistant Director of the Microscale and Mesoscale Meteorology Division since 1999. He has worked on the fluid dynamics of atmospheric flows, in particular tornadoes, and the rotating thunderstorms that produce tornadoes known as supercells, squall lines, hurricanes and polar lows, midlatitude cyclones and fronts, density-stratified flow past mountains, sea breezes, and variety of related problems such as the dynamics of density currents, internal bores and hydraulic jumps.

His Doctoral research examined the impact of anthropogenic land-use change on the mesoscale climate of the Florida peninsula. Prior to joining the staff of BASC in 2006, he was employed as a research scientist in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, where he focused on the development of coupled atmosphere – land surface models.
