Air Resources Laboratory    The Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) conducts research and development in the fields of air quality, atmospheric dispersion, and climate. Key activities include the development, evaluation, and application of air quality models; improvement of approaches for predicting atmospheric dispersion of hazardous materials; and the generation of new insights into air-surface exchange and climate variability and trends. The goal of our work is to improve the Nation's ability to protect human and ecosystem health while also maintaining a vibrant economy. OAR's In The Spotlight:Monitoring Our Climate: The Value of Atmospheric Reference Observations Laboratory HighlightDr. C. Bruce Baker has joined the Air Resources Laboratory as the Director of the Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division (ATDD) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Dr. Baker has been with NOAA for 23 years. He began his career at the Atmospheric Sciences Modeling Division of ARL in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. He then joined NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, where he has been since 1991. Dr. Baker has worked closely with the ATDD, developing climate observing systems for NOAA. He is actively involved with the American Meteorological Society and the World Meteorological Organization, conducting international inter-comparisons of meteorological instruments.
