Research interests
I am interested in deriving atmospheric composition from satellites, both multi-decadal and Near Real Time (NRT) data production, and engagement with 3rd parties for it’s exploitation. The data is of use in areas like air quality and climate modelling, including understanding and improving performance, in addition to identifying atmospheric events.
