The researcher Babak Jahani has defended, last 29th November 2021, in the Physics department, the thesis on "Cloud-Aerosol Transition Zone Radiative Effects from Modeling and Observational Perspectives".
The transition zone between cloud and atmospheric aerosol conditions has been very little studied, despite its radiative effects leading to important uncertainties in the knowledge of the climate balance. The thesis shows these radiative effects, both in the shortwave (solar radiation) and in the longwave (thermal radiation) ranges, from different perspectives, as the atmospheric modeling (in the Weather Research and Forecasting model, WRF-ARW), and the observations from sensors onboard satellite platforms (as CERES and MODIS onboard Aqua).
The thesis has been supervised by Josep Calbó and Josep-Abel González.
