Holger Voemel

Dr. Holger Vömel is a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) with extensive experience in atmospheric research and meteorology.12 His work focuses on various aspects of atmospheric science, particularly in the areas of stratospheric water vapor, tropical tropopause processes, and upper air trace gas measurements.1

Background and Experience

Dr. Vömel previously served as the Head of the GCOS Reference Upper Air Network (GRUAN) Lead Center at the Meteorological Observatory in Lindenberg, Germany.1 Before that, he worked as a research scientist at the University of Colorado and NOAA for many years.1

Research Contributions

Dr. Vömel has made significant contributions to the field of atmospheric science:

• Stratospheric Water Vapor: He has conducted extensive research on water vapor in the stratosphere, including a recent study on water vapor injection into the stratosphere by the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano eruption.134
• Measurement Techniques: He has worked on characterizing uncertainties in radiosondes and other in-situ measurements, which he considers essential for observational programs.1
• Instrumentation: Dr. Vömel has expertise in various atmospheric measurement tools, including balloon-borne radiosondes and aircraft dropsondes.1

Publications

Dr. Vömel has authored and co-authored numerous scientific publications, including:

• A paper on water vapor injection into the stratosphere by the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano (2022)1
• Chapters on balloon-borne radiosondes and aircraft dropsonde campaigns in "Field Measurements for Passive Environmental Remote Sensing" (2022)1
• A chapter on aerological observations in the "Springer Handbook of Atmospheric Measurements" (2021)1
• A study proposing a new method to correct ECC ozone sonde time response (2020)1
