Laboratory Studies And Atmospheric Observations
The group comprises several well-trained teams of experts in chemical physics and/or instrumentation that apply their skills to the latest needs of NASA missions. Whether it is daily observations, field campaigns, or state-of-the-art laboratory research, the Laboratory Studies and Atmospheric Observations group provides high quality metrics that NASA missions rely on for calibration, validation and new science.
- What are the magnitudes and uncertainties of spectral parameters needed to relate remotely sensed measurements to atmospheric composition?
- What field measurements will validate and extend the impact of satellite mission data?
- What spectroscopic instrumentation will be used in future composition measurements? How will it be built, tested and proven?
- Which photochemical data and reaction rates are reliable for understanding atmospheric processes?
