Research Activities

  • Longwave radiative transfer, especially at low water vapor amounts in the Arctic and upper troposphere
  • Characterization of water vapor observations from Raman lidar, microwave radiometer, and radiosondes
  • Retrieving microphysical properties in mixed-phase clouds, and investigating the importance of the two phases on the radiative energy budget, with a focus on Arctic clouds
  • Radiative transfer and light scattering in ice clouds, and appropriately accounting for the shape of the ice particles
  • Life cycle of clouds with very low liquid water paths (< 100 g/m2) and their impact on the radiative energy budget of the atmosphere
  • Raman lidar observations of tropospheric aerosols, and utilizing this data to understand the indirect effect of aerosol
