Session 5 Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere

Tuesday, 30 January 2024: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
341 (The Baltimore Convention Center)
Host: 24th Symposium on Meteorological Observation and Instrumentation
Chair:
Rachel H. Humphrey, NCAR, RAL, Boulder, CO
CoChair:
Udaysankar S. Nair

Remote sensing provides the opportunity to expand spatial coverage of measurements beyond what many in-situ networks can provide. Methods, including radar, lidar, and satellite-based systems, are utilized constantly for the measurement and monitoring of the planet and its atmosphere. This session focuses on all aspects of remote sensing of the atmosphere, including specific techniques, innovative measurements, and outcomes.
