SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY
MAIN CURRENT ACTIVITIES
A part of the scientific activity is currently related to the European Space Agency satellite mission called FORUM (The Far-infrared Outgoing Radiation Understanding and Monitoring) of which Tiziano Maestri is one of the proposers and developers. FORUM, which will be devoted at providing the first high spectral resolution measurements from space in the far infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum, will be sent on orbit in 2027 as the 9th ESA Earth Explorer mission.
General scientific activities include:
- Numerical modelling of the atmospheric radiative transfer: from gas spectroscopy to multiple scattering of electromagnetic waves in presence of spherical and non-spherical particles.
- Scaling methods and fast solution for multiple scattering radiative transfer in the atmosphere.
- Inversion techniques to infer geophysical parameters, optical and microphysical properties of clouds and aerosols from high spectral resolution measurements at IR.
- Studies on clouds based on a multi-sensor approach with attention to the validation and characterisation of optical properties of cirrus clouds over the entire electromagnetic spectrum (from microwave to visible wavelengths with special focus on the FarIR).
- Cloud identification and classification algorithms from high spectral resolution infrared data using innovative machine learning techniques (application of Principal component analysis).
- Identification of methane sources and quantification of emission fluxes from hyper spectral imagers (i.e. PRISMA) in the solar spectrum.
- Urban aerosol from passive satellite measurements in the SW and LW. Merging of in-situ concentration measurements of PMs with satellite derived aerosol optical depths.
