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.
