Description:
The project name is ""Climatological, model evaluation and validation studies using data from Canadian satellite and ground-based measurements"". Using data from three Canadian satellites, this research project will study the changing atmosphere and improve our ability to simulate these changes with atmospheric models, in three steps. First, the focus will be on understanding how different types of chlorine-containing gases, related to ozone depletion, are distributed in the atmosphere and vary from year-to-year. Second, the team will examine how different satellite instruments and models describe the region of the atmosphere that can have a significant influence on climate. And third, the quality of new measurements of greenhouse gases and air pollutants made from space will be assessed.
