Research Interests:
- A unique trait in our research is the use of spectrally resolved observations. Here is a slide show (link) explaining why we need to study climate through such a spectral lens.
- Radiative transfer and remote sensing Our research on the effect of cloud overlapping assumptions on spectral fingerprintings has been chosen as AGU research spotlight.
- Diagnostic analysis of satellite observations and climate simulations Our research on radiative effect of TTL cirrus on tropospheric-stratospheric transport has been highlighted on Geophysical Research Letters.
- Hydrological cycle and its interaction with atmospheric radiation and dynamics
- Climate diagnostics
- Planetary Atmospheres
Research Projects and Data Products:
- Ongoing Research Projects: A list of projects and the brief descriptions
- Research Data Products: Please see the data product webpage (link) for further information
- An open project on the model-based cloud radiative kernel development (link for participation)
- Two far-IR satellite missions that I participate as co-Investigator
