Welcome to GoART!

GoART (Group of Applied Radiative Transfer) is a small group of people led by Prof. Xianwen Jing, aiming at enhancing the application of radiative transfer tools in various areas, such as climate models, solar energy, and remote sensing. Our research topics include developing parameterization methods for better atmospheric radiative transfer simulations, investigating processes that interact with radiative transfer (e.g., aerosol-cloud-radiation interaction, surface reflection), and solving practical problems associated with solar energy harvest.
