Research Interests
My
latest research efforts involves the near-normal
incidence infrared reflectance studies of aqueous solutions of acids, salts,
bases, etc. I perform a Kramers-Kronig analysis of the reflectances to generate
the absorption and refraction indices which are useful in the calculation of
the scattering of infrared radiation from planetary aerosols.
