Leo Pio D'Adderio

Leo Pio D’Adderio received the Laurea degree in physics, with a thesis in cloud microphysics and precipitation, and the Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy, in 2006 and 2015, respectively. He is experienced in microphysical, spatial, and temporal properties of the drop size distribution and experimental research in ground-based radars and scattering computations by ice particle populations. He currently holds a post-doctoral position at the Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, National Research Council, Rome, Italy, where he is involved in the development of an IR retrieval algorithm for the precipitation estimation. Dr. D’Adderio is also a member of the Ground Validation (GV) Team of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Mission.
