PhD student working on 'Improving our understanding of the atmospheric weak wind boundary layer using spatially explicit observations near the ground surface'.
I am using the Distributed Tempersture Sensing (DTS) technique to investigate nocturnal weak wind situations in gentle terrain.
Right now I am analyzing the Shallow Cold Pool (SCP) experiment near Wellington in Colorado (USA) from 2012. The aim of this study was to investigate his field project a fiber-optic DTS-network with one heated and one unheated glass fiber cable was installed to measure downslope wind speeds and temperatures with a spatial and temporal resolution of 0.125 m and 5 s.
After this study I will work together with Prof. Dr. Christoph Thomas and the team on the ERC DarkMix project .
