Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Delene is a research professor specializing in atmospheric aerosols, cloud physics, satellite remote sensing, and the links between air pollution and climate. With over two decades of academic and field experience at the University of North Dakota and prior research roles at institutions like CIRES and the University of Wyoming, he blends in-situ measurements, aircraft campaigns, and satellite retrievals to improve climate and cloud microphysics models. He focuses on how aerosols and cloud condensation nuclei modulate radiation, cloud lifetime, and precipitation, and on synthesizing observational datasets to reduce uncertainties in satellite products. David has hands-on expertise developing scientific code (C, Matlab, IDL, Fortran) for instrument calibration, data processing, and remote sensing retrievals—skills rooted in his early balloon-borne and volcanic ash remote-sensing work. Collaborative by practice, he routinely partners with interdisciplinary teams to translate measurements into model-ready diagnostics that advance understanding of anthropogenic climate impacts.
