Elisa Carboni PostDoc at AOPP.
Her research is focused on aerosol retrieval using remote sensing measurements. In particular, she is interested in the comparison and analysis of satellite and ground-based data. The main purpose of her work is to better characterize the aerosol optical properties and to use those properties in radiative transfer computations in order to produce aerosol maps from satellite data and reduce the uncertainties present on the estimate of aerosol effects on Earth radiative balance.

Anu Dudhia University Research Lecturer, primarily interested in infrared remote sounding of atmospheric temperature and composition using fourier transfer instruments, particularly MIPAS, but also IASI and PREMIER. Responsible for the RFM line-by-line radiative transfer model, and the MORSE retrieval code.

Don Grainger Reader in AOPP.
His main interest is in using satellite instruments to determine aerosol/cloud properties and trace gas concentrations in the Earth's atmosphere. This includes studies into natural and anthropogenic changes in atmospheric aerosols and clouds through process such as volcanic emission, aircraft and ship pollution, and surface erosion.

Georgina Miles D. Phil. student at AOPP.
Georgina has interests in modelling the climate response to volcanic aerosols and uncertainties in their measurement. Her main research concerns detection of volcanic SO2 using the HIRS instrument.

Dan Peters PostDoc at AOPP.
Dan's research is currently focussed on measuring the optical properties of "solid" atmospheric aerosols, (such as volcanic ash and Saharan dust,) using the NERC Molecular Spectroscopy Facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. The main motivation for these measurements is to aid the extension of current retrieval algorithms to include atmospheric aerosols. This is currently an important contribution to climate change uncertainty. Other interests include the HIRDLS instrument radiometric calibration and high accuracy space based thermometry.

Clive Rodgers Senior Research Reader in Physics.
Though now retired, Clive is still active in research. His main research interests include radiative transfer, molecular spectroscopy, the application of estimation theory to the inverse problem of radiative transfer, and the application of satellite data to stratospheric and mesospheric dynamics and chemistry. Current projects include data assimilation (DARC), and retrieval aspects of TES and MIPAS. His departmental webpage is here.

Andy Smith PostDoc at AOPP.
Andy's research interests involve retrieval of clouds properties from MIPAS, and the microphysical modelling of aerosols.

Raveem Ismail D. Phil student at AOPP.
Raveem is producing global maps of aircraft-induced cirrus via microphysical modelling. The work involves development of an aerosol model to simulate the evolution of emissions to contrails and subsequent cirrus cloud. Previous research for an MSc included microphysical simulation of a volcanic eruption.

Gareth Thomas PostDoc at AOPP.
Gareth's interests lie in aerosol measurement, be it laboratory based, in situ or remotely. He is currently working on the validation of aerosol retrievals from (A)ATSR as part of the ESA Globaerosol project. He is also involved with the development of methods for aerosol measurement using MIPAS. Previously he has also worked on the analysis of spectral measurements of aerosol extinction made at the NERC Molecular Spectroscopy Facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. His departmental webpage is here.
