Improved Remote Sensing of Aerosol Particle Size and Composition

Develop improved sensor technologies for airborne particulates, e.g., hyperspectral and lidar-based remote sensing for aerosol particle size, type, and radiative forcing potential

We have limited capacity to predict key disruptive events, such as solar flares that threaten power grids and communications, alongside an incomplete understanding of natural processes (atmospheric, ocean, etc.) that underpin climate models. We need better monitoring tools for characterizing phenome...
There is a critical need for more precise, rapid, and localized climate intervention strategies. Current approaches lack the fine-grained models and rapid response mechanisms required to adapt to diverse climate impacts, such as heatwaves, which demand swift and effective action. The ability to cont...
