Learned Society: Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society.
Research Activities and Interests:
My 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.
I have been involved in the conceptual design, data interpretation and scientific use of measurements of atmospheric temperature and composition from the Selective Chopper Radiometers on the Nimbus 4 and 5 satellites, the Pressure Modulator Radiometer on Nimbus 6 and the Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder on Nimbus 7, all of which were produced by Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics at Oxford.
I am a Co-Investigator for the Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder flown on the NASA Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite in 1991, which measured the distribution of temperature and a range of constituents which are important in the study of atmospheric chemistry, with specific responsibilty for the data reduction algorithms, data processing and validation. I am now Principal Investigator for the data analysis project for this instrument.
I am also a Co-Investigator for both the High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (Oxford and NCAR) and the Tropospheric Emission Sounder (JPL), which will fly on the Aura satellite of the Earth Observing System in 2003.
