The first SAGE instrument was launched on 18 February 1979, to collect data on the various gases in the atmosphere, including ozone. The data collected on SAGE I and the following instrument SAGE II, which began taking measurements in October 1984, were critical to the discovery of the Earth's ozone hole and the creation of 1987 Montreal Protocol, which banned ozone-depleting substances, such ...
HAMS-GPS – Software used for management of environment, health and safety (EHS). It can be used for training as well as research involving dispersion modeling, accident analysis, fires, explosions, risk assessments and other related subjects.
Flagan was president of the American Association for Aerosol Research from 1996-1997 [9] and is editor-in-chief emeritus of the journal Aerosol Science and Technology. [10] He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2010 [11] and is a member of the board of directors of the California Council on Science and Technology. [4]
The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) is a series of remote sensing satellite instruments used to study the chemical composition of Earth's atmosphere. Specifically, SAGE has been used to study the Earth's ozone layer and aerosols at the troposphere through the stratosphere. The SAGE instruments use solar occultation measurement ...
EarthCARE is an acronym standing for Earth Cloud, Aerosol and Radiation Explorer, and the aims of the mission are to improve understanding of the cloud, radiative and aerosol processes that affect the Earth's climate. [11] As of January 2011, the total budget for the project is £500 million (€590 million/US$810 million). [10]
However, OMI sensors can distinguish between aerosol types, such as smoke, dust, and sulfates, [7] and can measure cloud pressure [8] [7] and cloud coverage, which provide data to derive tropospheric ozone. [9] In that regard OMI follows in the heritage of TOMS, SBUV, GOME, SCIAMACHY, and GOMOS. On top of that, OMI aims to detect emissions in ...
Aerosol mass spectrometry has also found its way into the field of pharmaceutical aerosol analysis, due to its ability to provide real-time measurements of particle size and chemical composition. People who suffer from chronic respiratory disease commonly receive their medication through the use of either pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI ...
Soon, several research groups constructed similar devices to observe the atmosphere. By 1969, “over 20 lasers were in use by meteorologists in the United States on at least a semi-routine basis” for various applications including aerosol measurements, sub-visible cirrus and noctilucent clouds observations, and visibility measurement [15]
