Atmospheric Science Branch Members (SGG)
NASA is continually striving to further our understanding of atmospheric composition and dynamics. Research conducted by scientists and engineers in NASA Ames’ Atmospheric Science Branch primarily supports the agency’s Atmospheric Composition and Weather and Atmospheric Dynamics focus areas.
The team at Ames designs and develops new instrument, and participates in collecting Earth observations from surface-based, airborne, and space-based platforms. We conduct studies to advance our understanding of changes in the Earth’s radiation balance, air quality, and the ozone layer that result from changes in atmospheric composition. That knowledge is used to improve our weather and climate predictive capability, while also delivering actionable information and applications to inform decisions about societal challenges.
