Assia Arouf

Postdoctoral Research Scientist

Dr. Assia Arouf is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Climate Systems Research at Columbia University (New York, NY). Assia’s postdoctoral research is focused on studying the low-level cloud feedbacks using CALIPSO and CloudSat observations and evaluating the representation of these cloud feedbacks in climate models. She did her master (2017-2019) on Physical Methods in Remote Sensing at Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP) and Université Paris Cité in France. In 2019, she started her PhD in Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (LMD) and Sorbonne University (in France). Her thesis work focused on developing a new observational-derived product of surface longwave cloud radiative effect using space lidar observation (CALIPSO) and radiative transfer simulations.
