MICHAEL BRADLEY is the coordinator for the Wildfire Behavior Prediction Initiative at the
National Atmospheric Release Advisory Center (NARAC), Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory (LLNL). He holds a Ph.D. in atmospheric science from the University of Illinois, and
has extensive experience in meso- and cloud-scale numerical modeling, in the simulation of
atmospheric processes above intense fires, and in real-time emergency atmospheric dispersion
predictions. He also has broad experience in operational weather support for the U.S. Air Force
and U.S. Army, retiring with honors as a Lieutenant Colonel, U.S. Air Force. From 1985-1989, as
part of the Global Effects of Nuclear War Research Program, Dr. Bradley was LLNL's principal
investigator for modeling the atmospheric dynamics, cloud processes, and scavenging of smoke
caused by intense, post-nuclear-attack fires. From 1990 to 1994, he was the National Coordinator
for cloud parameterization research and for global-climate-model sub-grid-scale parameterization
research for the U.S. Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program
(ARM). Dr. Bradley currently manages special projects for NARAC.
