Welcome to ARSL

We are a remote sensing technology group at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Yonsei University.

Our research focuses on satellite remote sensing of clouds and precipitation, which are crucial components of the global water and energy cycles. To this end, we aim to understand and simulate the interactions between infrared or microwave satellite observations and precipitation clouds through radiative transfer modeling.

Current research is directed at developing retrieval algorithms of cloud properties and precipitation using infrared and microwave measurements. Our research also involves microwave radiative transfer simulations that adequately represent non-spherical and inhomogeneous hydrometeors in precipitating clouds. This research is fundamental to understanding the radiative and physical characteristics of precipitating clouds and to measuring their microphysical properties of clouds. Another key research area involves applying remotely sensed data to climate studies (see Research).
