Autorenporträt

Frédéric Fabry is an Associate Professor at McGill University in Montréal, Canada, where he teaches topics in radar, meteorology, and the environment. He is also the Director of the Marshall Radar Observatory. His research covers various facets of radar meteorology, from technical aspects such as signal processing to applications of radar in hydrology and in numerical weather modeling, including more traditional radar meteorology research such as the characterization of the melting layer of precipitation. He was awarded the 2004 Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society President Prize for the development of a technique to estimate the refractive index of air using ground targets.
