Before joining the Sensor Physics Branch, he was a postdoctoral
research associate with the National Research Council from 1992 to
1994, a physical scientist with the University of Colorado/Cooperative
Institute for Research in the Environmental Sciences/NOAA Environmental
Technology Laboratory from 1994 to 2001, and a research scientist at
the Science Systems and Applications, Inc./NASA Goddard Space Flight
Center, Greenbelt, MD, in 2002. During these periods his research
activities included radiometer calibrations, radiative transfer
modeling, development of retrieval algorithms and ground-based
atmospheric remote sensing.

Yong Han is a physical scientist. His research
interests include radiative transfer modeling, mathematical
retrieval methods and atmospheric remote sensing. He received his B.S.
and M.S. degrees in 1982 and 1985, respectively, from the Nanjing
Institute of Meteorology, Najing, China, in atmospheric science, and
the Ph.D. degree in meteorology from the Pennsylvania State University,
University Park, in 1992.
