Summary
Dr. Coddington's Ph.D. research focused on airborne shortwave spectral irradiance measurements with applications to atmosphere (clouds, aerosols) and surface remote sensing. Her interests include surface, air, and space measurements and modeling of shortwave spectral irradiance.
At LASP, Dr. Coddington's professional interests include radiative transfer modeling, supporting the measurements of the Solar Spectral Flux Radiometer, and supporting the calibration and documentation efforts for the Spectral Irradiance Monitor instrument as part of the Total and Spectral Irradiance Sensor (TSIS) satellite (launch date ~2017).
