Dr. Lazaros Oreopoulos (a.k.a Lazaros Oraiopoulos) is the Chief of the Climate and Radiation Lab. He has over two decades of experience conducting research on the modeling and remote sensing of clouds, their impact on the Earth’s Radiation Budget, aerosol-cloud interactions, and many aspects of atmospheric radiative transfer for climatic applications. He currently serves as the Project Scientist for the Aqua satellite mission. He has been a member of the Precipitation Measurement Mission, CloudSat-CALIPSO, MODIS, AIRS, and Landsat Science Teams, and has served in the International Radiation Commission, the AMS Atmospheric Radiation Committee, and the GEWEX Radiation Panel. He received the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal (ESAM) in 2018 and a 2019 GSFC Robert H. Goddard award for Science.
Dr. Oreopoulos holds a B. Sc. in Physics from Aristotle's University of Thessaloniki, Greece, and M. Sc. and Ph. D. degrees in Atmospheric Sciences from McGill University, Montreal. Web of Science publications and citation metrics can be found here; see also Google Scholar.
Atmospheric Radiation
Especially interactions with clouds and aerosols. Atmospheric radiation problems are studied both for the purpose of remotely sensing properties atmospheric constituents, but also for climate applications, for example radiation and energy budgets.
Cloud Modeling
Mainly for Large Scale Modeling applications, for example cloud parameterizations for Global Climate Models that reproduce as faithfully as possible water and energy budgets.
Precipitation behavior of the world's cloud regimes
The goal of the project is to diagnose relationships between clouds and precipitation at an
unprecedented scope and level of detail. Such a study is now possible at nearly global scales
because of continual improvements in the coverage and quality of cloud and precipitation
retrievals from satellites. The effort relies on gridded data and is the first major attempt to make extensive combined use of distinct cloud and precipitation products at near-global scales.
Informing cloud subcolumn generators from active observations
This research effort has three main thrusts: (a) Develop a framework to systematically evaluate previous efforts of generation of cloud subgrid variability using CloudSat and CALIPSO (“CC”) data; (b) Exploit the information content of CC observations and products to inform cloud subgrid generator schemes on implementation of better rules of subcolumn generation; (c) Apply the improved schemes to the output of Global Climate Models (GCMs) in order to assess whether their cloud diagnostics are substantially impacted by different subcolumn schemes and whether better agreement to observations can be achieved.
Classifying the world's cloudiness into regimes
Cloud Regimes (CRs) have been derived in the past decade through the application of clustering techniques on ISCCP, MODIS, and CloudSat/CALIPSO cloud property distributions. Since their inception, they have been used in numerous studies, which showed that the CRs are an efficient method to separate atmospheric states with distinct radiative, thermodynamic, and dynamic properties, and to examine the evolution of physical processes and evaluate the output of climate models. The project analyzes the combined ISCCP, MODIS, and CloudSat/CALIPSO data records, with the objective to provide to the community a process-resolving coordinate system on which other satellite datasets, such as those coming from additional A-train instrument retrievals, can be mapped and analyzed. The result of such a mapping will be the creation of datasets that will resolve synoptic and mesoscale variability, and will be directly relatable to physical atmospheric states and thus suitable for process understanding explorations, and for physically meaningful model evaluation studies.
