Randell Barry

Randell Barry serves as Associate Professor in the Applied Aviation Sciences Department within the College of Aviation at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. His expertise bridges atmospheric science and aviation operations through specialized meteorology instruction and applied research.

Academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science, SUNY at Albany
• M.S. in Atmospheric Science, SUNY at Albany

Professor Barry's research centers on operational meteorology for aviation safety, with particular focus on probability-based weather forecasting systems, extreme weather event analysis, and hurricane impacts on flight operations. His work translates complex atmospheric phenomena into actionable decision-support tools for pilots and dispatchers, emphasizing uncertainty quantification in weather products critical to aviation safety.

Scientific recognition includes publications in the Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research addressing aviation weather challenges, though specific awards are not documented in available materials.

Teaching responsibilities drive student engagement through WX 201 (Survey of Meteorology), WX 363 (Thunderstorms), and advanced Dynamic Meteorology courses (WX 374/375). His curriculum integrates real-world aviation weather case studies with theoretical principles, preparing students for FAA certification and operational meteorology roles. Current grant activity and student advising details are not specified in source materials.

No dedicated research laboratory or center affiliation is mentioned in the available documentation.
