Dr. Ohara is an associate professor in Civil and Architectural Engineering at the University of Wyoming. His research focus is snow hydrology, hydrometeorology, hydrogeomorphology, and cryospheric science. He recently formulated the Eulerian snow redistribution equation that can describe most of the particle deposit patterns behind an object including a perforated snow fence. Dr. Ohara also developed a stochastic upscaling model for snow processes by solving the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE). The improved FPE model will be incorporated in the operational NOAA Rapid Refresh (RAP) weather prediction system near future. Recently, he derived the stable hydraulic section based on the principle of least action using the functional analysis technique.
