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.
