The Koren Lab

Cloud Physics

Research

We explore the physics of clouds and precipitation, ocean-atmosphere interactions, and nonlinear dynamics, all within the context of climate.

Our research approaches include theoretical exploration of nonlinear differential equations, numerical simulations of clouds and cloud fields, satellite data analysis, field measurements, and theoretical work on remote sensing and radiative transfer.

Our group develops new approaches in fluid dynamics, complex systems, electromagnetic radiation, cloud microphysics, computer vision, and statistics.
