Project: Gas Filter Correlation Radiometry technique for Tropospheric
Carbon
Monoxide Imaging and Measurement
Student Researchers: Megan Clark, Danielle N. Rockwood, Abigail Llaneza
Advisor: Jonathan J. Miles
Institution: James Madison University
This project focuses on the design and manufacture of gas filters and a
filter wheel, and methods for collection, processing, and visualization
of infrared data. A rigorous method of modeling atmospheric spectral transmittance
will be applied to convert raw radiometric (infrared) data into carbon monoxide
concentration values. The results from the implementation of the experimental
design will be conveyed via web site to the public using data visualization
techniques. These techniques will present data in a form that is visually
appealing and meaningful to the general population. The project is important
with respect to human-induced production and transport of carbon monoxide
and related effects on environment and life. |
