Dr. Alexander Victor Matus
Faculty Research Assistant · Non-Tenure Track
About
Dr. Matus uses satellite observations and climate models to study the radiative processes of clouds and aerosols and their effects on the global energy budget. He has extensive expertise producing NASA radiative fluxes and heating rates products using multi-sensor satellite observations. He has developed and applied radiative kernels to investigate radiative forcing and feedback in the global climate system. In support of these modeling efforts, Dr. Matus has participated in airborne field campaigns to improve in-situ observations of cloud and aerosol atmospheric processes.Research interests
