Lynn Russell: Taking Aim at Marine Aerosols

A California researcher with an appetite for studying atmospheric particles has big investigations underway on aerosols in marine clouds.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric System Research program advances process-level understanding of the key interactions among aerosols, clouds, precipitation, radiation, dynamics, and thermodynamics, with the ultimate goal of reducing the uncertainty in global and regional climate simulations and projections.
