Research Group: Atmospheric Radiation Investigations and Measurements

Group Home Page

Scientific Objectives

  • Measurement of atmospheric ozone columns
  • Measurement of atmospheric actinic flux and photolysis frequencies
  • Comparison of atmospheric measurements with radiative transfer models
  • Development of new techniques for atmospheric measurements
