Earth Systems
Science Program
The
mission of the Earth System Science Program is to improve the
understanding of how the urban and regional environments impact
living conditions and human activities. This mission involves
the development of new technologies, analysis techniques, and
interdisciplinary investigations, and education. The research
focus areas include:
- Atmospheric
Aerosols
- Atmospheric
Chemistry
- Atmospheric
Radiative Transfer and Optics
- Boundary Layer
Meteorology
- Geographic
Information Systems
- Land/Atmosphere
Interactions
- Lidar/Sodar
- Micrometeorology
- Remote Sensing
- Severe Storm
Climatologies
- Solar Energy
- Urban Meteorology
Recent research
projects include:
- Analysis of
Soil Temperature to Determine Thermal Diffusivity
- Analysis of
the Relationship between Bandlimited In Situ Ground Surface Temperature
Measurements and Remotely-Sensed Skin Temperatures across the
State of Georgia
- Atmospheric
Turbulence Measurements from a Sodar Operated on the Rooftop
of the Research Center for Science and Technology Building
- Comparison
of Rural and Urban Surface Energy Fluxes
- Determination
of the Effects of Tree Response to Stream Flow cause by Evaportranspiration
- Development
of Models for Predicting the Effects of Atmospheric Variations
on the Amount of Solar Radiation at the Surface of the Earth
- Effects of
the 3-D Atmospheric Radiation Field on the Heating of Houses
and on Solar Energy Conversion
- Estimation
of Atmospheric Boundary Layer Surface Energy Fluxes, Albedo,
and Momentum Fluxes, from Georgia Automated Environmental Monitoring
Network (AEMN) Station Data
- Improvements
to Mims LED Sun Photometer
- Modeling of
Indium Phosphide Solar Cells
- Measurement
of Solar Radiation on the Rooftop of the Research Center for
Science and Technology Building
