RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

• Remote sensing: SAR (Sentinel-1/SAR-C), scatterometry (ASCAT/QuickScat), altimetry (S-3/…, Cryosat-2), visual and IR (S2/MSI, S-3/OLCI), Aqua&Terra/MODIS, NPP&JS../VIIRS), MW radiometry (AMSR-2, AMSR2)  & other (e.g. GRACE ) L1 to L4  data for sea ice, surface currents and winds, SST and SSS, ocean colour (incl. cloud masking, sargassum retrieval, chl-a, etc): writing algorithms for QC, filtering & masking, regriding and reprojecting, retrieval of geophysical parameters, creating composite images;
• In Situ: More than 10 cruises (2010-2021). Working with Seabird, Idronaut, RBR, Sea and Sun CTDs, UCTD, underway systems (Chelsea, Seabird, Sea and Sun), oxygen, turbidity, chlorophyll sensors, XBTs, ARGO & ARGOS floats, SVP buoys, Teledyne ADCPs (vessel-mounted and lowered): installation, deployment, maintenance, QC, writing algorithms for data processing
• Under-ice turbulence cluster experience organisation and cast;
