Dr. Pavloski is currently the Director of Meteorology Computing. His research involves the use of sun photometry, broadband radiation measurements, narrow field of view radiation measurements and modeling to explore properties of atmospheric aerosols and three-dimensional clouds. He also has extensive data acquisition and operational instrument field work experience.
