Manu Thomas
Fields of work
Modeling aerosol-cloud-climate interactions on different spatial scales and to understand how a better representation of the processes can result in accurate radiative forcing estimates. Understanding the intercontinental transport of pollutants, both natural and anthropogenic from satellites.
Research interests
- Aerosol-cloud-climate interactions and the radiative forcing effects
- Long range transport of pollutants and the role of meteorology
- Aerosols from explosive volcanic eruptions; their chemical transformations, long range transport and climate impact.
- Satellite analysis of optical properties of different aerosol species.
Special competences
Global and regional scale modeling, aerosol-cloud and aerosol-radiation interactions, satellite based monitoring of air pollutants and their coupling with meteorology in the high latitude regions including Arctic.
