Research
My current research interests are:
- Using spectral atmospheric transmission to infer total column ozone and aerosol optical depth.
- Examining satellite ozone data for trends and correlations
Education
- Northwestern University, B.A. Physics, 1982
- University of Minnesota, M.S. Physics, 1984
- University of Wyoming, Ph.D. Physics, 1996
Dissertation
Long Duration Balloon Borne Observations in the Winter North Polar Vortex: Application to the Study of Global Change Issues.The results of my research were:
- The first circumpolar balloon flight performed during the polar winter.
- Measured ozone reductions of up to 67%.
- A vortex filament width estimate of 3o in latitude.
- Measured the asphericity of sulphuric acid tetrahydrate aerosols to be 0.7.
- The utility of numerically modelled air parcel trajectories was limited to general air motion as opposed to detailed air motion.
