PhD student
Within the project “Upper troposphere lower stratosphere structure during convective systems using
GPS radio occultations” supervised by T. Neubert (Head of Solar System Physics Department), the
study was focused in the tropopause layer during convective systems using GPS radio occultations
and other satellite instruments. The impact of the convection on the climate changes was evaluated.

Fellowship under the supervision of Prof. P. Basili (DIEI - University of Perugia).
Analysis and validation of data from the weather stations based on Trasimeno Lake area, analysis of
the hydrological cycle of Trasimeno Lake and creation of an extreme temperature forecast model,
using satellite and ground based data. A website with the history of the project and all the
achievements is available (www.biondiriccardo.it/LAGO/LAGOindex.htm). The project and its
dissemination allowed many national research institutes (Institutions Markets Technologies - IMT
Lucca Institute for Advanced Studies, IRPI-CNR, IRSA-CNR, ISMAR-CNR), international institutes
(University of Belgrade and the University Granma of Cuba), organizations (Perugia Province,
Trasimeno Regional Park), schools, universities (Perugia, Siena, Firenze, Bologna) and privates
(televisions, newspapers and many other privates for different purposes) to develop new projects,
thesis, and to support decision makers.

Research Institute
1 September 2002 – 30 November 2004
Fellowship under the supervision of Prof. P. Basili (DIEI - University of Perugia).
Data fusion of measurements from GPS receivers, microwave radiometers and numerical weather
models (ECMWF) to estimate precipitable water vapour, cloud liquid, tropospheric total delay to
validate measurements of MERIS on board of ENVISAT, in collaboration with the ENVISAT validation
and calibration team led by Prof. Ciotti (Department of Electrical Engineering - University of L´Aquila).
Two experimental campaigns were organized (in Perugia and Isola d’Elba) for the estimation of the
precipitable water vapour from GPS, ground based radiometer and SSM/I producing maps over Italian
area using geostatistical interpolation. The research also included the analysis of data from radiometer
WVR-1100 to estimate atmospheric water vapour content, cloud liquid, attenuation in Ka band using
statistical models. Nowcasting studies with data fusion of measurements from radiometer, lidar,
weather station, GPS, cloud camera and ECMWF data were developed using neural networks and
regression.
