1. A database of single scattering properties for hydrometeors at microwave and sub-millimetre frequencies
Abstract : Remote sensing observations of hydrometeors (ice or liquid water particles) at microwave and sub-millimetre wavelengths provide important input to numerical weather forecasting through data assimilation and give insight to cloud processes that are relevant for climate prediction. The utilization of such measurements requires information on the single scattering properties (SSP), i. READ MORE

2. A Database of Microwave Single Scattering Properties of Ice Hydrometeors
Abstract : Microwave remote sensing by satellites is important for global observations of ice hydrometeors. Interpretation of the measurements requires sufficiently accurate knowledge of hydrometeors’ interaction with photons, i.e. article scattering and absorption. READ MORE

3. Remote sensing of clouds and precipitation using active and passive microwave observations
Abstract : Global observations of clouds and precipitation are of great importance for weather prediction and the monitoring of the climate. Nonetheless, the currently available record of global observations does not constrain the properties of clouds very well owing to the inherent limitations of the observation systems used to produce them.

4. Improving satellite measurements of clouds and precipitation using machine learning
Abstract : Observing and measuring clouds and precipitation is essential for climate science, meteorology, and an increasing range of societal and economic activities. This importance is due to the role of clouds and precipitation in the hydrological cycle and the weather and climate of the Earth. READ MORE

5. Modeling aerosol-cloud interactions in the Arctic
Abstract : Clouds have a large impact on Earth’s energy balance, especially in the Arctic. Through their warming or cooling effect on the surface, clouds can play a critical role in the onset of melting and freezing of Arctic sea ice, which itself has a large effect on energy and moisture fluxes between the ocean and the atmosphere.
