Focus
The research direction of our program area is airborne field measurements of trace gases and aerosols.
Measurements
We design, develop, and deploy instruments aboard research aircraft for measurements of trace gases and particles. We interpret these observations to improve our understanding of atmospheric processes related to air quality, ozone depletion, and climate change.
Collaborations
Our research group works in close coordination with other CSD and ESRL groups, and colleagues in NASA's atmospheric research groups involved in airborne field measurements to explore atmospheric composition and the processes in the atmosphere that influence air quality and climate.
