Seasonal & Sub-Seasonal Tropical Cyclone Forecasts
Colorado State University has issued forecasts of Atlantic basin hurricane activity since 1984. Following the pioneering work of Prof. William Gray, our group continues the long CSU tradition in forecasting with continually improving techniques for predicting tropical cyclone activity powered by new research.
Tropical Weather and Climate Research
We conduct cutting-edge research to advance knowledge and prediction of the weather and climate system. Our research group is focused on improved understanding and prediction of tropical weather, including hurricanes and typhoons, extreme rainfall, and other high impact weather.
What's happening in the group

Tyler Barbero, a PhD candidate in Professor Bell’s Tropical Weather and Climate Research group was awarded the William M. Gray award for the best technical manuscript submitted for publication during the previous 18-month period on research advancing understanding of the physics and dynamics of the tropical atmosphere and ocean.
Congratulations Tyler!
The William M. Gray award was established in 2023 to honor the substantial contributions the late Bill Gray made to tropical meteorolgoy and hurricane research. William ‘Bill’ Gray was a professor at CSU from 1961 until his retirement in 2005. The Gray award includes scholarship funding that has been provided through an endowment from Gray’s family.
His legacy goes far beyond the seminal research papers that he published and includes the many graduate students he mentored and the more than 30 years of seasonal hurricane forecasts that he
made for the Atlantic.
