Research

  • Aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions
  • Aerosol radiative forcing
  • Cloud feedback
  • Cloud and climate impacts from socioeconomic choices

Current Topics

  • Influence of mesoscale organization on trade cumulus cloud development and its implications for cloud feedback (in situ observations)
  • Climate impacts from modulation of atmospheric composition resulting from socioeconomic choices (GCM and LES simulations)
  • Impact of aerosol-meteorology co-variability on  aerosol forcing (satellite and in situ observations)
