Activities
I am interested in studying the spatial variability of aerosol properties by means of a mobile system performing on-road measurements :
- Thesis title: "Development of a mobile system for the measurement of aerosol variability at high spatial and temporal resolutions"
- Study spatial and vertical variability of aerosol optical and microphysical properties by means of remote sensing and in situ measurements
Methods
- Aerosol remote sensing (LiDAR, sunphotometer) and in situ techniques (optical particle counters): set up, operation, troubleshooting and data analysis
- Synergy between ground-based LIDAR and sun-photometry (inversion algorithms: BASIC, GRASP); mass concentration profiles retrievals
- Mobile campaigns for the study of the North-South, East-West gradients of Lille city and Hauts-de-France region, Paris and inter-city agglomeration
