The Atmospheric Resources Research
Program is directed at research and graduate education
in biosphere-atmosphere interactions. This includes
forest, agriculture, and wild land meteorology
studies of atmospheric - vegetation, land and water
exchange processes; biometeorology studies of the
microclimate as the biological environment; research
instrumentation design and development; development
of numeric and statistical mathematical models
of the states and processes which control the exchanges
of energy, pollutants and other matter between
organisms and their local environment.
The agriculture and forest meteorology research program is one of
the best equipped and staffed university programs in the U.S. The
program facilities include an environmental wind tunnel, a LIDAR-laser
and sensor development lab, and a mobile micrometeorology profile
measurement and data logging system. The mobile system has been used
in inter-agency cooperative field experiments in California, Colorado,
Pennsylvania, North Carolina and New Mexico as well as Connecticut.
The program has a complete range of computational capabilities in
addition to the university main frame facilities. They consist of
networked SUN and IBM workstations and pentium PCs for each graduate
student and faculty member.
Research projects have been initiated with the general philosophy
that research cannot be separated from education and service at public
universities. Most of the basic research problems worked on have
been selected to fill the knowledge gaps needed to solve specific
environmental problems in Connecticut. Recognition of the long delays
between the research and its application to specific problems has
led to a continuous effort to apply expertise generated in research
projects at the University to environmental problems in the state. |
