| Scientific Contributions: |
Dr. Strawa has studied the earth’s atmosphere since 1992 and has been involved in
experimental measurement, analysis, and instrumentation development for over twentyfive
years. He is currently the group leader for the Aerosol and Cloud Microphysics
Group whose long term goal is to study the formation, evolution, and effects of aerosols
and clouds. The group pursues this goal through a combination of measurements,
analysis, and modeling. Dr. Strawa is exploiting a technique he developed to
discriminate types of polar stratospheric clouds using satellite observation. He has
collaborated with industry to develop an instrument capable of measuring aerosol
optical properties in situ using cavity ring-down technology. This instrument has been
used in many ground and flight missions to assess the climatic impact of aerosol, and is
being developed for use on remotely piloted vehicles.
Dr. Strawa is the inventor of the Advanced Sunphotometer concept, for which a patent
has been applied. Through the use of innovative optics and an array detector, the
Advanced Sunphotometer can track the sun with no moving parts and obtain aerosol
optical depth and column gas densities. The instrument is suitable for climate studies on
any planet with an atmosphere. |
