MEET THE GROUP
Ching-Shu Hung
Understanding cloud processes and their interactions with aerosol, precipitation, and radiation across various scales and cloud regimes
Jesse Loveridge
Retrieving 3D variations of cloud microphysical properties using passive and active remote sensing observations
Kevin Yang
Assessing the role of near-cloud aerosols in radiative forcing and their dependence on cloud organization
Ty Johnson
Improving the characterization of smoke plumes from sensors on geostationary platforms using machine learning and 3D radiative transfer
Olivia Pierpaoli
Characterizing aerosol hygroscopic growth and advancing aerosol optical and microphysical property retrievals applicable to complex, highly 3-D, cloud-aerosol environments
Tzu-Han Hsu
Addressing the outstanding issue of the "too few, too bright" problem by improved understanding of cloud evolution physics and the shifting balance of driving forces in various regime transitions.
