Research areas & research interest

  • Remote sensing of clouds and aerosols as well as radiative fluxes from passive and active satellite imagers
  • Analysis of the life-cycle of clouds using geostationary satellites, including the nowcasting of severe convection
  • Small scale variability of clouds and radiation, and their effects on the accuracy of satellite products and the comparability of satellite and surface observations

 

Current projects

    • High definition clouds and precipitation for advancing climate prediction (HD(CP)2), subproject O2, METEOSAT SEVIRI based high-resolution and model evaluation metrics, funded by BMBF
    • Leibniz Graduate School on Clouds, Aerosols and Radiation (LGS-CAR), evaluation of the accurancy of satellite estimates of the first aerosol indirect effect, funded by the Leibniz Society
    • Hans-Ertel Centre on Weather Research, topical area 1, Object-based Analysis and Seamless Prediction (OASE), characterization and nowcasting of deep convection using ground-based and satellite observations, funded by DWD

     

    Completed projects   

    • Integrating Cloud Observations from ground and Space (ICOS, funded by DFG): comparison of surface- and satellite perspectives for studying the life-cycle of cloud systems, and synergistic use of ground and satellite observations
    • Proposal concept and execution of a EUMETSAT fellowship on the effects of broken clouds on passive imager satellite retrievals, funded by EUMETSAT
