Cloud and Aerosol Physics
The Aerosol and Cloud physics group studies aerosols/cloud physics and cloud dynamics. The group works on both arctic problems like arctic haze, arctic stratus clouds, and global problems like cloud-radiation feedbacks. For more information on research opportunities in this group, contact one of the faculty listed below.
Cathy CahillInvestigates the
chemistry of atmospheric aerosols through field and laboratory
studies. She is currently investigating the size and composition
of particles entering the Arctic from other regions of the
globe. |
Kenneth SassenResearch activities
include cloud remote sensing with lidar and radar, atmospheric
optics, and the study of cloud physics and related instrumentation.
Beginning in the early 1980s, his Mobile Polarization Lidar
facility was widely applied to field measurement programs
in the areas of aerosol scattering, winter storm weather
modification, and cirrus cloud research. Currently, he is
involved in the FIRE, ARM, SASS, and EOS research projects. |
Glenn ShawInvestigates atmospheric
aerosols and cloud physics. He is interested in global climate
change issues and long range transport. |
