A 20-year history of NSF-supported Atmospheric Science field campaigns: Statistics and demographics
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2017Co-Authors: Brigitte BaeuerleAbstract:Over the past two decades, the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS) has funded nearly 200 Atmospheric Science-related field campaigns that have included deployment of AGS-sponsored observing facilities. These projects have spanned the range from modest, single investigator experiments to massive, multi-investigator, multi-agency campaigns. They have occurred both domestically and abroad, on every continent and over most oceans. In this article, we present an analysis of some of the details about these campaigns, including such elements as deployment location and cost of the campaign, and of statistics related to the principal investigators (for example, type and location of institution, gender, years since degree). In addition, we assess trends in field campaign cost. These results provide a retrospective view of Atmospheric Science field work that has been supported since 1992.

a successful introduction of authentic research early in an undergraduate Atmospheric Science program
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2012Co-Authors: Kathleen Quardokus, Sonia Lashertrapp, Eric M RiggsAbstract:Participating in scientific research as an undergraduate student provides an opportunity to increase understanding of how scientific knowledge is advanced, to learn new research tools, to develop the ability to critically analyze new ideas, and to practice disseminating scientific findings. This experience unfortunately has traditionally been limited to students that can participate in select programs (e.g., summer research experiences, undergraduate positions in a faculty member's research group, special topics courses, independent study, or internships). A new laboratory course has been developed to provide sophomore- level Atmospheric Science students with the opportunity to participate in an authentic research project within the structure of an academic semester. The course consists of two modules based upon research topics currently under investigation by faculty (here, specific problems in cloud microphysics and severe weather research). Students participate in learning activities, work as a researc...

ideas about the nature of Science held by undergraduate Atmospheric Science students
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2008Co-Authors: Loran Carleton Parker, Gerald H Krockover, Sonia Lashertrapp, David C EichingerAbstract:Learning about the nature of Science involves learning about Science, its goals, methods, products, and practitioners. As university students progress through their studies, what are they learning about Science? Several studies have attempted to answer this question, but none have examined the ideas of Atmospheric Science students. We discuss the results of a single study that explores introductory undergraduate Atmospheric Science students' ideas about the nature of Science, and examines relationships between these ideas and students' previous university Science coursework. We focus on the ideas about the definition of Science, about scientific knowledge, about the scientific process, and about the scientific enterprise held by a group of undergraduate Atmospheric Science students. Unlike previous university students studied, the majority of these students viewed Science as an enterprise that requires creativity and imagination. They also believed Science to be a discipline that “proves” its assertions b...

Atmospheric Science ancient air caught by shooting stars
Nature, 2016Co-Authors: Kevin Zahnle, Roger BuickAbstract:Ashes of ancient meteors recovered from a 2.7-billion-year-old lake bed imply that the upper atmosphere was rich in oxygen at a time when all other evidence implies that the atmosphere was oxygen-free. See Letter p.235

development of an interactive visual data mining system for Atmospheric Science
IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing Data and Analytics, 2005Co-Authors: Chiemi Watanabe, Eriko Touma, Kazuko Yamauchi, Katsuyuki Noguchi, Sachiko HayashidaAbstract:In Atmospheric Science, 3D visualization techniques have been mainly used to create impressive presentation in recent decades. However, from the viewpoint of utilize for visual data mining, 3D visualization methodology has difficulties in becoming wide spread because most conventional and established way is to make 2D diagrams consisting of two dimensions of a temporal transitional 3D grid. From these observations, we have been developing a quick look tool of Atmospheric Science data for 3d visual data mining. We expect that scientists can utilize this tool for finding out 2D diagrams from the data by using various 2D or 3D visualization methods, and become accustomed themselves to 3D visualization methods.
