Title
Post-Doc Research Associate
Joint Center for Earth Systems Technology
Education
Ph.D. Atmospheric Science, University of Houston
Biography
Dr. Caicedo obtained a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences from the University of Houston where her research was based upon the retrieval of the planetary boundary layer height, coastal boundary layer evolution and climatology, and the evaluation of observed and simulated boundary layer dynamics in urban-coastal environments using remote sensing methods. Dr. Caicedo joins the Atmospheric Lidar Group at UMBC JCET to work on planetary boundary layer height retrieval methodology, boundary layer meteorology, air quality and atmospheric chemistry.
Research Interests
Her research interests include atmospheric remote sensing, planetary boundary-layer dynamics, regional numerical weather prediction, air quality modeling, bay/sea-breeze effects on planetary boundary layer and air quality.
