CT Scan To Help Scientists Diagnose Role of Clouds in Climate

(PhysOrg.com) -- During May and June 2009, scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, and the University of Colorado at Boulder will use high-tech scanners — analogous to those used in medical settings — to make observations of clouds. The research, conducted at DOE’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility (ACRF) in Ponca City, Oklahoma, could lead to more accurate weather forecasts and predictions about climate.
