2019
- October 2019: I have initiated
the Correlated
K-Distribution Model Intercomparison Project (CKDMIP), whose
purpose is to evaluate and improve the gas-optics models for weather
and climate models, and the tools we use to generate them.
- May 2019:
My SPARTACUS-Urban paper
has been accepted, describing how
the SPARTACUS approach may be used
to compute 3D radiative transfer in urban canopies. It makes use of
another recent
paper introducing a simple statistical model that accurately
describes building layout in cities.

Research
My research concerns radiative transfer, clouds and remote sensing
with radar and lidar. Since April 2014 my primary affiliation
is ECMWF,
where I have responsibility for the radiation scheme. My past and
present University of Reading activities are described on
the Clouds Group web page. I have research
links with colleages in the Radar Group and
the Radiation Group.
