Huang Discusses Using Spectral Observations in Climate Studies

Prof. Xianglei Huang delivered a lecture entitled “Studying climate through a spectral lens” as part of the Distinguished Climate Lectures series at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

In January, Prof. Xianglei Huang delivered a lecture entitled “Studying climate through a spectral lens” as part of the Distinguished Climate Lectures series at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

He discussed how under-utilized spectral observations could be used in various physical climate studies, such as revealing compensating biases in radiative feedback analysis, improving the fidelity of modeling the high-latitude radiative coupling between surface and atmosphere, and understanding the implications of the most recent NASA solar spectral irradiance measurements on high-latitude climate simulation. JPL has made the lecture publicly available on the NASA Climate Change channel on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWjYRDywQPo.
