| Research Interest: |
| I received my PhD degree in physics at the University of Göttingen in 1979 in the field of digital image processing, working on statistical properties of rank filters. From 1989, I began at the Institute of Environmental Physics to investigate maps of sea ice obtained from passive microwave radiometers, extending the field of work later also to remote sensing of the polar atmosphere, tropical convective systems, ice clouds, and regional satellite remote sensing tasks like topographic maps of the wadden sea. The list of used sensors has been extended gradually to a wide range, comprising, but not limited to scatterometers, SAR and optical sensors like MODIS and MERIS. |
