 Mr. Marios N. Anagnostou

Mr. Marios N. Anagnostou is currently a Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher in the Institute of Inland Waters of the Hellenic Center for Marine Research in Greece. He has been Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Connecticut in the field of Hydrometeorology.  He has Master of Engineering (M.Eng) from York University, England in the field of Avionics.  His research at HCMR is to study precipitation microphysics, microwave propagation in the lower atmosphere and space, and aspects of precipitation remote sensing on the basis of state-of-art weather radar remote sensing systems such as X-band dual-polarization (polarimetric) radars.  This is extremely important since ground-based measurements are the most significant remote sensing tools to support flood and weather forecasting, more accurate validation of cloud resolved models and satellite retrievals, and the development of water management systems.
