Subject Matter Expertise

OUR APPROACH
Aeris prides itself on maintaining a workforce of highly skilled scientists and engineers, many of which are recognized as subject matter experts (SMEs) in a variety of scientific and applied fields. As such, Aeris can effectively utilize these resources to provide direct technical and scientific consulting support, in areas where we have the requisite background, qualifications, and, in cases requiring a specified level of classified access eligibility, security clearances. In circumstances, where Aeris does not possess all the requisite skill sets, we will frequently team with other qualified partners and organizations, within the scientific/technical community, to provide the highest quality technical consulting solution to meet our customer’s needs.

Within this domain, our staff meteorologists have particular expertise in the areas of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP), Data Assimilation, Atmospheric Observing Systems, Boundary Layer Processes, Atmospheric Transport and Dispersion, Model Validation, and Historical Climate. At the present time, Aeris’ meteorological SMEs include Dr. Paul Bieringer, Mr. George Bieberbach, and Dr. Aaron Pina.
