Current Research

My current research focuses on cloud radiative forcing over Arctic polynyas and flaw lead systems as measured from icebreakers and derived from satellite data. I am also interested in the measurement and analysis of all variables relevant to cloud forcing such as aerosol optical depth, ozone profiles, surface albedo, and cloud microphysics. From these data and other shipboard and aircraft data, I am building a history of polynya meteorology.
