Aerosol and Clouds

  • We develop satellite retrieval methods to study aerosol optical thickness on both regional and global scales. In addition, we investigate key cloud parameters including thermodynamic state of clouds, cloud liquid water path or cloud albedo.
  • These parameters are crucial for understanding the radiation balance, climate dynamics and the water cycle. Research teams:
