NOAA-CREST RESEARCH: Atmosphere - Tropospheric Remote Sensing/ Air Quality Monitoring(TRAQ) CUNY
Over the past five years, CREST has developed a multifaceted research program that encompasses satellite and ground based remote sensing of aerosols and clouds, effects of meteorology on aerosols and clouds, ground-based analytical approaches to aerosol characterization, and applications to air quality and health impacts.
Goals: • Establishment of an urban and regional East Coast test bed facilitating access to measurements, models, and data archives • Demonstration of an integrated multi-sensor, 3D measurement strategy based on CREST’s regional facilities (lidar, etc) and bootstrapping on existing/planned meteorological and air sampling networks. • Improvement of methods for using current and future satellite measurements in air quality forecasting (MODIS, MISR, CALIPSO, APS, VIIRS, GOES-R , etc.)
