Remote Sensing and Clouds

Welcome to the Remote Sensing and Clouds group here in the Meteorology Department at Reading University.

We study cloud processes (microphysical, dynamical and radiative) using a variety of techniques ranging from observations of real clouds to idealised theory and models of individual processes. We also use state of the art remote-sensing observations to study clouds (and other processes in the atmosphere), and develop new measurement techniques and retrieval methods.

We have close links to the Chilbolton Observatory, which hosts a suite of radars, lidars, radiometers and other remote-sensing / meteorological instrumentation.
