- | Applications are invited for a PhD position to work in the ITARS project, a Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) within the FP7 programme. ITARS focuses on the synergistic application of high-end ground-based remote-sensing instrumentation that has the potential to substantially contribute to an improved understanding of aerosols, clouds, and aerosol-cloud interaction processes and their role for both climate and weather.

The selected candidate will assess and quantify for the first time the potential of the synergic use of lidar and radar techniques for the study of atmospheric aerosol. | The selected candidate will assess and quantify for the first time the potential of the synergic use of lidar and radar techniques for the study of atmospheric aerosol. | ||
- | Advanced multi-wavelength Raman lidar is the most powerful technique for monitoring the temporal and vertical variability of atmospheric aerosols and is the unique technique able to provide range-resolved aerosol microphysical properties. On the other hand, recent studies show that microwave radars are able to detect ultragiant aerosol particles of volcanic origin. | + | Advanced multi-wavelength Raman lidar is the most powerful technique for monitoring the temporal and vertical variability of atmospheric aerosols and is the unique technique able to provide range-resolved aerosol microphysical properties.
