Tip Sheet for NASA Langley Atmospheric Science
Research
NASA Langley scientists will report on new atmospheric science
research at the 2001 American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in
Boston, May 29-June 2. Details of scheduled papers and poster
sessions follow:
Calibration of Meteorological Satellite Imagers
A new technique for accurately calibrating satellite imager
sensors, which are essential for remote sensing of the Earth's
surface and atmosphere, presented by Louis Nguyen.
Tuesday, May 29 at 9:15–Convention Center, Room 312,
Session A21B
Solar Radiation Measurements at the Chesapeake Bay
Lighthouse
Validation results of the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant
Energy System (CERES) instrument from the CERES Ocean Validation
Experiment (COVE) at the Chesapeake Bay lighthouse presented by
Zhonghai Jin.
Tuesday, May 29 at 10:20–Convention Center, Room 312,
Session A21B
Further Assessment of Multi-Year Satellite Observations of
Water Vapor
Discussion of recent in-depth analyses of the Stratospheric
Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) II water vapor data set for the
stratosphere and upper troposphere presented by Er-Woon Chiou.
Tuesday, May 29 at 10:35–Convention Center, Room 312,
Session A21B
Reasons for Increased Ozone Amounts in Remote Regions during
the Springtime
New evidence suggests that long-range transport of pollution
is responsible for increased ozone amounts during the springtime in
remote regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Results from the
Tropospheric Ozone Production about the Spring Equinox (TOPSE)
field experiment presented by Edward Browell.
Tuesday, May 29 at 2:30–Convention Center, Room 311,
Session A22B
Quality of Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE)
Measurements in the Mesosphere
By considering a large set of individual satellite
measurements, scientists have determined that the HALOE instrument
is providing accurate temperature measurements that are
representative of seasonal and periodic variations in the
atmosphere. Presented by Ellis Remsburg.
Wednesday, May30 at 3:20–Convention Center, Room 210,
Session SA32B
Future Satellite Could Provide New Insight Into Air Pollution
and the Atmosphere
A discussion of a future geostationary satellite as the ideal
platform used to study tropospheric chemistry processes. The
resolution of satellite instruments would provide unparalleled
insight into air pollution and the global atmosphere. Previous
proposals and a new joint initiative will be highlighted. Invited
presentation presented by Jack Fishman.
Friday, June 1 at 10:45–Convention Center, Room 311,
Session A51C
Model and Data Comparisons of Atmospheric Chemistry
Compounds
Reprocessed data from the LIMS (Limb Infrared Monitor of the
Stratosphere) experiment with an improved algorithm shows much
better agreement with previous models of stratospheric nitrogen
compounds and ozone. Presented by Ellis Remsburg.
Saturday, June 2 at 3:45–Convention Center, Room 312,
Session A62A
Possible New Solar-Terrestrial Mechanism Affecting Odd
Nitrogen and Ozone
Comparisons of evidence of solar cycle-related fluctuations of
odd nitrogen in the upper atmosphere and of observations related to
the source of this fluctuation are made. Results, which suggest
this process represents a new solar-terrestrial coupling
mechanism affecting both odd nitrogen and ozone amounts in the
stratosphere, presented by Linwood Callis.
Saturday, June 2 at 2:20–Convention Center, Room 312,
Session A62A
POSTER EXHIBITS
Data Products from Terra and Tropical Measuring Mission
(TRMM) Satellites
Four posters, highlighting results and future applications of
programs that visualize and analyze Terra and TRMM data products,
presented by John Olson, Nancy Ritchey, and Nichole Silvers.
Tuesday, May 29 at 8:30–Convention Center, Hall C, Session
U21A
Measurements of Coastal Ocean Albedo at COVE
Clear-sky observations from COVE, a long-term radiation
experiment, will be used to demonstrate how ocean albedo is
affected by atmospheric and ocean characteristics presented by Ken
Rutledge.
Wednesday, May 30 at 8:30–Convention Center, Hall C,
Session A31B
Evaluation of Terra Moderate-Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Sensor
Discussion of aerosol and water vapor measurements presented
by Richard Ferrare.
Wednesday, May 30 at 8:30–Convention Center, Hall C,
Session A31B
Validation of CERES Measurements
Results from reflected solar radiation measurements at COVE
presented by Wenying Su.
Wednesday, May 30 at 8:30–Convention Center, Hall C,
Session A31B
Interpretation of the Arctic Troposphere during the
Springtime
The use of aerosols and ozone measurements, studied during the
Tropospheric Ozone Production about the Spring Equinox (TOPSE)
experiment, to interpret elevated tropospheric ozone levels during
the Arctic in the Spring. Presented by Bill Grant.
Wednesday, May 30 at 1:30–Convention Center, Hall C,
Session A32A
Students On-Line Atmospheric Research (SOLAR): Enhancing
Earth Science Education
Highlights of SOLAR activities, including a June 2001
workshop, presented by Susan Walters.
Friday, June 1 at 1:30–Convention Center, Hall C, Session
A52A
Development of Daily Global Tropospheric Ozone
Distributions
A new global empirical correction technique presented by Amy
Balok.
Friday, June 1 at 1:30–Convention Center, Hall C, Session
A52A
Simulations of the Geosynchronous Imaging Fourier Transform
Spectrometer (GIFTS)
Evaluation of a New Millennium Program instrument presented by
Nikita Pougatchev.
