(Standing) Nicholas D'Imperio, Andrew Vogelmann, (seated) Mariko Oue, and Kwangmin Yu at Brookhaven Lab's Computational Science Initiative (CSI). Yu of CSI's Computational Science Laboratory, led by D'Imperio, accelerated the code for the Cloud Resolving Model SIMulator (CR-SIM), which simulates what radar and other sensors would see if incorporated into an atmospheric model that resolves clouds. Pavlos Kollias (not pictured) of Brookhaven's Environmental and Climate Sciences Department and his research group, including Oue, developed CR-SIM. Vogelmann of the same department is using CR-SIM to evaluate model performance.
