Vito Vitale

Senior researcher at the CNR Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (ISAC) in Bologna. Expert of radiative transfer processes into the atmosphere, with research focus on radiation budget and role that atmospheric composition and surface characteristics play in modulating Shortwave (SW) and Longwave (LW) radiation components, determining their seasonal and inter-annual variability. He have been involved in polar research and management since 1986, both in Antarctica and in the Arctic. He leads the Climate Change Tower Integrated Project (CCT-IP, www.isac.cnr.it/~radiclim/CCTower) a large multidisciplinary project at CNR Arctic Station Dirigibile Italia. He also represent CNR in several international organizations related to polar research. During his long activity in polar regions, he has promoted the improvement of observation technology for harsh environments, developing also custom instrumentation. At the moment his interest is devoted to atmospheric observations over ocean, and snow reflectivity.
