RESEARCH
The
Joint Laboratory current research concerns radar meteorology and remote sensing of the atmosphere from ground-based, airborne,
and space-borne platforms, with a particular focus on clouds and
precipitation using microwave and infrared data, development of inversion
methods, and radiative transfer modelling of absorbing and scattering media. Other
main topics of interest are radiometeorology for rain, wind and ash
retrieval and synthetic aperture radar data processing for land-use
applications.
Currents
projects are:
Italian radar network error characterization
Comparison between radar estimates and rain gauges
Parameterization of radar error
Radar polarimetry in complex orography
Retrieval in complex orography
Validation with disdrometers
