Interaction of Sunlight with the Atmosphere (74)
Problem: Establish improved understanding of how Earth's atmospheric radiative processes affect the climate
Project Activity Scope (from Technical Overview Chart): Interaction Mechanisms through Measurement & Analysis System Applications
PNNL Solution:
- Established key radiative processes
- Installed & operated solar flux/radiance measurement instruments needed to characterize effects of processes
- Developed parametric descriptions of clouds & radiation processes
- Tested these parametric descriptions for use in atmospheric models
Capabilities Employed to Meet Client Needs: atmospheric science, sensor development, data processing and analysis; large database management & data distribution.
