About the course

This topic focuses on understanding the interactions between solar and terrestrial radiation within the atmosphere and at the Earth’s surface, including effects of clouds, water vapor, aerosols and precipitation on the planet’s energy balance. Active areas of research involve studying the link between the energy balance of the atmosphere and the Earth’s hydrological cycle, climate radiation feedbacks, and basic research on atmospheric radiation and radiative transfer. The research is approached through a combination of both observations and modeling and promotes the development of advanced methods of remote sensing and retrieval theory, including the pioneering of new space-based measurements.
