ARL Prepares for 2023 AGU Meeting
December 7, 2023
Presentations on arctic amplification of climate change, air quality, and western hydrology during a season of intense atmospheric rivers are just a few of the topics covered by ARL research at the 2023 AGU annual meeting that begins next week. The AGU23 is an influential conference dedicated to the advancement of Earth and space sciences. This year AGU is held in San Francisco, California as well as virtually.
Posters cover topics ranging from fire weather forecasting and parameterizations of western regions to methane emissions in the arctic, mercury measurements, and ozone measurements, including:
SPLASH Campaign: ARL instrumentation relative to the mobile SURFRAD and the snow level radar and disdrometer.
