Anne Douglass (Code 614, Atmospheric Chemistry and
Dynamics Laboratory) gave a Maniac Talk on March 27th titled “Satellite
Observations - the Touchstone of Atmospheric Modeling”: “I came to GSFC
(Atmospheric chemistry and dynamics branch) in 1981 following a lengthy
graduate school career that featured two universities, experimental work,
development of a primitive atmospheric model and a growing family. The
maze I call my scientific career is filled with unexpected twists and turns and
even a few blind alleys, but most of the time satellite measurements of ozone
and other trace gases have been my touchstone (metaphor - means of establishing
the relative merits of a concept). This talk will feature examples that
show how modeling grounded by observations continues to advance.”
Also, GESTAR congratulates Anne Douglass as the recipient of
the 2013 William Nordberg Memorial
Award for Earth Science, GSFC's highest award in the area of Earth
science. This prize is in recognition of Anne's many years of leadership
of satellite missions studying atmospheric composition, and her pioneering work
in using measurements to test models.
