offers
unique research opportunities to highly-talented scientists to engage in
ongoing NASA research projects at a NASA Center, NASA Headquarters, or at a
NASA-affiliated research institute. These one- to three-year fellowships
are competitive and are designed to advance NASA’s missions in space
science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems,
and astrobiology.

Description:

This opportunity is closed to applicants who are Senior Fellows (5-years or
more past PhD).

Theoretical and experimental research is under way in atmospheric science,
radiative transfer, and remote sensing. This research focuses on (1) remote
sensing of aerosols and clouds; (2) atmospheric correction of satellite
imagery of the Earth's surface; (3) interaction of aerosols and clouds, and
their climatic impact; (4) remote sensing of emissions from biomass burning
in the tropics; (5) calibration of satellite sensors using the Earth's
atmosphere and surface reflectance; and (6) analysis of satellite data.
Field experiments are conducted with measurements from aircraft and from
the ground of the aerosol properties (e.g., smoke aerosol, dust, and
anthropogenic aerosol), and their effect on cloud microphysics and
radiation characteristics.

Location:

Goddard Space Flight Center
