(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, William R. Cotton is an American cloud physicist and mesoscale meteorology educator. He is a professor emeritus in the Department of Atmospheric Science at the Colorado State University . Background Cotton earned a B.A. in mathematics at University at Albany, The State University of New York in 1964, a M.S. in meteorology at SUNY in 1966, and a Ph.D. in meteorology at Pennsylvania State University in 1970. He was appointed to the academic faculty at the CSU Department of Atmospheric Science in 1974. He assumed the position of an assistant professor in the department where he is now a tenured professor. He has been actively involved in observation and computer simulation of cumulus clouds and thunderstorms as well as other intermediate-scale cloud systems. His current interests are largely in the area of observation and modeling of larger clusters of thunderstorms that occur preferentially at night over the central United States, the simulation of severe thunderstorms including tornadoes and the application of the RAMS cloud-resolving atmospheric model to forecasting agriculture and aviation impact variables. He has held positions at the Experimental Meteorological Laboratory , the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , and the United States Department of Commerce, and served as the head of the Numerical Simulation Group from 1970 to 1974. In 2010 Cotton became professor emeritus.
