Research Interests:

Study solar irradiance variations from EUV to infrared and their effect on the Earth's atmosphere and climate. Using solar images from the ground and space she is involved in irradiance modeling. She is also involved in solar radius measurements and to study the relation between irradiance and radius changes.

Biography:

Dr. Judit M. Pap has been a senior research scientist at GEST since June 1, 2001. Between June 1 and November 30, 2001, Dr. Pap was appointed simultaneously to half-time positions at both GEST and the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UCLA. She joined GEST as a full time research faculty member on December 1, 2001. Dr. Pap conducts research on solar irradiance variations and their effect on the Earth's atmosphere and climate. She is using ground- and space-based images for modeling irradiance variations. She is a NASA-funded co-investigator on the ESA/NASA SOHO/VIRGO and MDI experiments, guest investigator of the NASA UARS mission, and co-investigator on the French PICARD experiment. She is principal investigator on various grants from NASA's Office of Space and Earth Sciences. Dr. Pap is involved in a wide range of collaborations with scientists from JPL; UCLA; USC; NRL; SSAI; the University of Hawaii; the University of Arizona; NCAR/HAO; NOAA/SEC; C.N.R.S, Paris, France; PMOD/WRC, Davos, Switzerland; and the Heliospheric Observatory at Debrecen, Hungary.
