Research Interests

Istvan Laszlo's research interests include atmospheric radiation, radiative transfer, radiation budget and remote sensing of atmospheric and surface properties from space. He is a co-author of the well-known Discrete Ordinate Radiative Transfer (DISORT) code, worked on estimating the broadband top-of atmosphere albedo from narrowband sensors; developed algorithms for estimating the shortwave radiation budget, surface albedo, aerosol and cloud optical depth from satellite data.
