Summary
How can we improve our ability to predict the weather - tomorrow, next week, and into the future? How is the Earth's climate changing? What causes such change? And what are its costs? What can the atmospheres of distant planets teach us about our own planet and its evolution? The Laboratory for Atmospheres is helping to answer these and other scientific questions about our planet and its neighbors. The Laboratory conducts a broad theoretical and experimental research program studying all aspects of the atmospheres of Earth and other planets, including their structural, dynamical, radiative, and chemical properties. Vigorous research is central to NASA's exploration of the frontiers of knowledge. NASA scientists play a key role in conceiving new space programs, providing mission requirements, and carrying out research to explore the behavior of planetary systems, including, notably, the Earth's. The Laboratory for the Atmospheres is a vital participant in NASA's research program. The Laboratory is part of the Earth Science Directorate based at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. In this report, you'll find a statement of our philosophy and a description of our role in NASA's mission. You'll also find a broad description of our research and a summary of our scientists' major accomplishments in 2000. The report also present useful information on human resources, scientific interactions, and outreach activities with the outside community.
