Research
- Atmospheric Dynamics Group - Centre for Atmospheric Science
Focuses on fluid dynamical problems of understanding the
chemical-climatic environment. These range from the fine-scale mixing
of aircraft emissions to global atmospheric circulation and its
chemical and radiative consequences.
- Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions
Investigates processes governing exchanges of energy, water, carbon and
trace gases between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere, to
model changes in climate and the carbon cycle over the next 50-100
years as Earth responds to changes in atmospheric composition and land
use.
- Climate Analysis Section at Nat'l Center for Atmospheric Research
Empirical studies and diagnostic analyses of the atmosphere and its
interactions with Earth's surface and oceans. Emphasis is on
atmospheric general circulation, meteorological phenomena, and climate
variations over several time scales. Catalog includes observational
data sets and analyses from a variety of sources in support of modeling
efforts and climate research.
- Climate Prediction Center at NOAA
Monitors short-term climate fluctuations. Diagnoses and predicts them
to assist agencies both inside and outside the federal government in
coping with climate related problems, such as food supply, energy
allocation, and water resources.
- Department of Meteorology, University of Maryland
Site for College Park campus. Research areas include climate studies,
Earth system science, atmospheric chemistry and climate diagnostics,
glaciology, weather prediction and atmospheric dynamics, oceanography
and air/sea interaction, remote sensing and data assimilation.
- Landsat/ARM Clear Sky and Cloud (LCSAC) Research
Research is aimed at forging a link between Landsat and the number one
unsolved problem in global climate modeling, the "role of clouds."
- Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Simulation of Climate Variability over Amazonia
A research project of scientists at the Center for
Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies (COLA) and the University of New
Hampshire, in collaboration with colleagues at CPTEC and the University
of Sao Paulo in Brazil, to investigate seasonal-to-interannual
variability and predictability in the Amazonian climate system.
