Lecturers

  • Paul Menzel, Associate Professor in the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Department at the UW-Madison, is the Senior Scientist in NOAA's Office of Research and Applications and specializes in calibration of infrared remote sensing radiometers, radiative transfer in the atmosphere, cloud studies with multispectral instruments (HIRS, MODIS), and evolving the current sounders to interferometers.

  • Paolo Antonelli has been a researcher at the Space Science Engineering Center (SSEC) - UW-Madison since 1997. He received a PhD from the Unversity of Wisconsin Madison working on infrared remote sensing of the atmosphere at high spectral resolution. Most of his work is related to information content, retrievals of atmospheric temperature, water vapor profile and cloud properties. Antonelli, after coordinating the remote sensing activities at the Mediterranean Agency for Remote Sensing in Benevento, Italy, for over one year, recently returned to the SSEC. Outreach plays a major role in Dr. Antonelli's activities and interest through teaching Remote Sensing Observing Systems courses at the University and participating in different international remote sensing summer schools, directed by Prof. P. Menzel, with responsibilities for the overall organization and for the Labs.
