Steve Cohn

Earth Observing Laboratory – NCAR, USA

Steve Cohn is a scientist in NCAR's Earth Observing Laboratory and manages the In-Situ Sensing Facility (ISF). His research focuses on applying wind profilers and other remote sensors to boundary layer research.

Stefan Emeis

Stefan Emeis was the Chairman of 13th ISARS-2006, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

Chris Fairall

Earth System Research Laboratories – NOAA, USA

Chris Fairall is a research Physicist who is working to unravel the mysteries of how the ocean and atmosphere battle each other as part of the Earth's climate system from El Niño to hurricanes. He has spent decades developing and deploying air-sea interaction observing systems on NOAA ships and aircraft and has participated in nearly 50 research field programs and cruises from the Tropics to the Arctic icecap. His work is devoted to making direct measurements for verifying and improving the representation of air-sea interaction processes in weather/climate models. These measurements include such things as surface evaporation, absorption of heat, generation of waves, and uptake of carbon dioxide.

Martial Haeffelin

Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL) – CNRS/E. Polytechnique, France

Martial Haeffelin, is a research scientist, with 16-year experience in cloud radiative effects, initially with the NASA Langley Research Center, and now with CNRS-IPSL since 2002. He is the Director of the SIRTA atmospheric observatory (Palaiseau), PI for the BSRN station in Palaiseau and scientific coordinator of the ParisFog field program. He is a member of the EU EG-CLIMET COST program management committee where he leads a task on "monitoring the mixing layer depth at the European scale using existing ceilometer networks". He is also a member of the ESA EarthCARE satellite Mission Advisory Group. He is the author and co-author of 40 peer-reviewed articles.
