Time in Larsen Lab: 2008-2009Basic Project Description: Aaron started out trying to study wind in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer, but -- for most of the time he was working in the lab -- he was focused on studying radiative transfer through correlated random media. He also contributed to some of the early rain gauge array work at UNK. He -- along with Grant Saltzgaber and Matt Noffke -- was among the first ever students I mentored as a faculty member. In Aaron's case, most of the mentoring was done jointly with my colleague Dr. Aaron Clark.
