The Remote Sensing Physics Branch, Code 7220, conducts a broad range of research related to remote sensing of the atmosphere and surface. The major focus areas include:
- Passive microwave remote sensing of the ocean surface
- Aerosol measurements and modeling of the marine boundary layer
- Middle atmosphere composition measurements
- Upper troposphere and lower stratosphere aerosols and pollution
- Assimilation of middle atmosphere measurements in global weather/climate models
The branch is comprised of the following research sections:
