معرفی
Prof. Dr. Gunther Seckmeyer is a Professor at the Institute of Meteorology and Climatology, Leibniz University Hannover, leading the Department of Solar Radiation and Remote Sensing. His roles include representing the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics in various academic committees. His research focuses on solar radiation, UV exposure, remote sensing, and climate science, with fieldwork in Antarctica, the Altiplano, and the Atacama Desert. He develops advanced instrumentation for spectral radiance measurements and applies machine learning for cloud motion prediction and solar irradiance forecasting. His work addresses photovoltaic optimization, ozone layer impacts, and human health via UV exposure models.
Research interests span solar radiation patterns, atmospheric chemistry (e.g., black carbon in snow), and climate change impacts. Collaborations include projects on Antarctic warming trends and urban microclimate modelling (PALM-4U). He emphasizes spectral measurements for accurate UV exposure assessment and energy meteorology, contributing to international initiatives like the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC).
Publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches, blending field measurements with computational models. Recent work explores extreme solar irradiance in high-altitude regions and the recalibration of photovoltaic systems to optimize geographic orientation. His lab develops novel calibration techniques for spectroradiometers and LED-based solar simulators.
