POAM III provides new altitude observations

Article Abstract:

Naval Research Laboratory's Polar Ozone and Aerosol Measurement (POAM) III instrument is a satellite-borne sensor that was designed to measure vertical profiles of the atmosphere. POAM III, which is onboard the French SPOT 4 satellite, provides scientists with valuable information about the ozone hole phenomenon, causes of Arctic ozone destruction and other polar atmospheric processes. In its April observation, the POAM III instrument recorded high-altitude plume caused by the eruption of the Shishaldin volcano in the Aleutian Islands.

Instrumentation and modeling in atmospheric science

Article Abstract:

The integration of computer simulation technologies with advanced sensor systems provide meteorologists with powerful tools for conducting extensive studies in atmospheric science. It also allows the predictive use of model output in solving atmospheric problems which cannot be explained using conventional modeling tools. Furthermore, these technologies can be used as frameworks for designing new instruments that allow reliable atmospheric measurements.

University of Washington inaugurates new research aircraft

Article Abstract:

The University of Washington inaugurated a new atmospheric research aircraft on Nov 6, 1998. The aircraft is a refurbished Convair-580 twin-engined turboprop equipped for aerosol, cloud and atmospheric chemistry studies. The aircraft was first used to study the Arctic Ocean in spring 1998. It will be used next in the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission validation studies over the western tropical Pacific Ocean slated for summer 1999.
