Masaki Hamada

I joined the lidar group in September of 2012 and completed a master's degree in Environmental Science in 2014. My thesis research project was to quantify the performance of the cross-correlation algorithm to derive vector flow fields from scanning aerosol lidar data. The project resulted in a peer-reviewed article in the Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology.
