Atmospheric Remote Sensing
The Atmospheric Remote Sensing research program studies boundary layer dynamics, their role in urban air quality, wildfire behaviour, and quantifying emissions. Researchers develop and deploy state-of-the-art lidar and spectroscopic remote sensing instrumentation on land, ship, and aircrafts to measure atmospheric winds, turbulence and composition to study these processes.
Research Highlight: According to researchers, California Fire Dynamics Experiment (CalFiDE) results could ultimately provide better forecasts for first responders on the ground who need to make quick decisions about firefighting strategy and evacuations. Learn More Photo: Alan Brewer, NOAA
