Profile
I am a Post Doctoral Research Associate working with the Surface Temperature (ST) research group at the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ. I support work centred around validating satellite land surface temperature (LST) through the use of in-situ radiometer data, as well as assisting in laboratory calibration activities.
My PhD focussed on deriving an improved set of spectroscopic line parameters of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide to provide more accurate inputs for atmospheric radiative transfer codes and retrieval algorithms. My thesis is titled Towards improved non-Voigt line parameters of carbon dioxide for atmospheric remote sensing.
