Area: Bringing information on clouds and aerosols into forecasts

My first love is clouds, but for many years I have worked on how to use information on aerosols when generating forecasts. I would like to see the full potential of data on visible radiance from clouds used to improve numerical weather prediction. My current motto is ‘a new look at old data’ – it’s exciting!

 

Women in science often lack confidence and experience ‘imposter syndrome’. I would like them to believe that, if they love what they are doing, they are exactly where they should be. It's only by working together, across gender, cultural and social differences that we can achieve our goals.
