 ===== ESR7: Observation of crystal habits and sizes in ice / mixed phase clouds =====
 Radar-centred techniques will be developed to determine crystal properties in ice clouds with greater detail than possible to date. This is important as climate and weather forecast models include assumptions on ice crystal habits that – although crucial in determining precipitation characteristics - cannot be validated yet. The possibilities of a new spectral-polarization radar technique will be further explored in order to classify ice crystal microphysics. In support of this technique lidar will be used to detect super-cooled liquid water clouds that may be present inside ice clouds. The candidate will be based at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. Test campaigns at the CESAR Observatory in The Netherlands will be performed and cross-compared with radiative transfer calculations. Close collaboration is foreseen with research institute IfT in Leipzig on lidar remote sensing and the radar manufacturer Selex Systems to study the potential of the technique for future radar systems.

+===== ESR11: Determination of atmospheric water vapor via inverse modelling using lidar and microwave radiometry =====
 The selected candidate will explore the sensor synergy of Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) and microwave radiometry (MWR) to retrieve the atmospheric state and cloud parameters with high-vertical resolution. The Integrated Profiling Technique developed at UCO combines cloud radar and MWR in an optimal estimation framework where lidar information is only used at cloud base. The capabilities of water vapour DIAL able to provide high-vertical resolution information below clouds will be explored. The necessary combination of instrumentations is currently operated for the first time at Barbados in cooperation with MPI Hamburg. The impact on retrieval quality of thermodynamic profiles and cloud parameters will be investigated in cooperation with University of Potsdam.
