Benchmarking Radiance for Climate Change: With the rapid increase in climate forcing through the addition of infrared active molecules to the atmosphere by fossil fuel combustion and the probability of carbon release from expanding melt zones in the...

Research Area Overview The Anderson group is engaged in a coupled array of research projects designed to establish the quantitative coupling between (1) the forcing of climate by increasing carbon dioxide and methane and other infrared active molecules...

Scientific Motivation Long duration observing platforms operating in the lower stratosphere at altitudes around 65 kft (20 km), would provide critically needed scientific breakthroughs in both the Space Sciences and the Earth Sciences. The StratoCruiser...

The foundation for trusted quantitative forecasts of risk from the rapidly escalating, irreversible changes to the Earth’s climate structure driven by accelerating fossil fuel use, depends directly on fundamental advances in the quantitative determination...

To understand the chemistry of our atmosphere, we need to be able to measure which chemical species are present in what concentrations and how those concentrations vary in space and time. For some purposes, very broad measurments can be made from...
