Part 6 Lynn Russell s work in instrumentation for air pollutant research pioneered the use of automated instruments aboard remote-controlled airplanes to gather aerosol data. Here is this week s installment.
Many researchers argue that global temperature change is already well under way.
A few others argue that too little is known to reach conclusions or make policy changes. Clearly, there is an urgent need for more and better data. In particular, we need to measure accurately the complex atmospheric systems that help set global temperatures. Russell is distinguished among her peers partly by her capacity for designing better systems of instrumentation. She has, for example, pioneered the use of automated instruments aboard remote-controlled airplanes to gather aerosol data.
