Atmospheric Research Laboratory ( F.P.J. Valero)
The Atmospheric Research Laboratory is a team of research scientists who conduct observational and modeling studies of the radiative and climatic properties of the atmosphere, clouds, aerosols, and the ocean. ARL uses a suite of sophisticated in-house developed solar and infrared radiometers to acquire and analyze airborne and ground-based radiometric measurements. With the anticipated 2004 launch of the DSCOVR satellite ARL will begin to collect radiometric data from a space platform.
