Summary
Cristian Lussana is a Senior Research Scientist at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute with 11+ years of experience producing high-resolution gridded climate datasets and post-processing numerical model output. He specializes in combining reanalyses and observations to generate observational products like seNorge, the Nordic Gridded Climate Datasets, and MET Nordic Analysis, and contributes to international projects such as UERRA and C3S-SURF. Trained in atmospheric physics and with a background in meteorological forecasting and applied research at ARPA Lombardia, he blends strong statistical methods with operational awareness to make model data actionable. Based in Oslo, he brings deep domain expertise in near-surface variables (temperature, precipitation, wind) and a practical knack for turning complex observational and model sources into reliable, high-resolution climate services.
