Development and Deployment of Optical Instruments to Measure Trace Atmospheric Species: I. Water Isotopologues; II. Glyoxal; III. Iodine Monoxide
O'Brien, Anthony (2012-12-13)Understanding future climate requires observations of trace species that can significantly influence the chemical or radiative properties of the atmosphere. The development of optical instruments, utilizing laser-systems ... -
Free Radicals and Reactive Intermediates in the Boundary Layer: Development and Deployment of Solid-State Laser Based Instrumentation to Measure Part per Trillion Mixing Ratios of Iodine Monoxide and Glyoxal In Situ
Thurlow, Meghan Elizabeth (2013-03-18)Advances in spectroscopic measurement techniques enabling highly accurate measurements of trace gases in the atmosphere are critical for furthering our understanding of the chemical processes that impact both climate and ... -
The Response of Stratospheric Water Vapor to a Changing Climate: Insights from In Situ Water Vapor Measurements
Sargent, Maryann Racine (2012-10-31)Stratospheric water vapor plays an important role in the Earth system, both through its role in stratospheric ozone destruction and as a greenhouse gas contributing to radiative forcing of the climate. Highly accurate water ... -
The Sources and Significance of Stratospheric Water Vapor: Mechanistic Studies from Equator to Pole
Smith, Jessica Birte (2013-01-02)It is the future of the stratospheric ozone layer, which protects life at Earth’s surface from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, that is the focus of the present work. Fundamental changes in the composition and structure ... -
Stratospheric controlled perturbation experiment: a small-scale experiment to improve understanding of the risks of solar geoengineering
Dykema, John A.; Keith, David W.; Anderson, James G.; Weisenstein, Debra (The Royal Society Publishing, 2014)Although solar radiation management (SRM) through stratospheric aerosol methods has the potential to mitigate impacts of climate change, our current knowledge of stratospheric processes suggests that these methods may ...
