Gerrit Holl

Gerrit Holl is a researcher affiliated with the University of Reading, specializing in atmospheric remote sensing and climate data analysis. His work focuses on satellite-based measurements, error characterization, and validation of climate data records using instruments like HIRS, ACE-FTS, and TANSO-FTS, with particular emphasis on Arctic observations and greenhouse gases like methane.

Research interests include:

• Atmospheric remote sensing using infrared and microwave sensors
• Climate data record creation and uncertainty quantification
• Cross-validation of satellite and ground-based measurements
• Radiative transfer modeling and optimized frequency grids
• Error analysis in satellite humidity and ice water path retrievals

Recent publications analyze methane trends, radiance uncertainties, and sensor intercomparisons, often involving collaborations with institutions in Europe and Canada. Key applications include improving climate models and satellite data assimilation frameworks.
