While writing that article I noticed that we had some significant observational gaps in the lower atmosphere and began thinking about how to fill those gaps. #UAS (Autonomous aircraft) were an obvious answer. 2/? #ClimateQA

How did my interest in #UAS start? I have been studying Arctic clouds since 2004. In 2009, I put together a review article on this topic https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/people/matthew.shupe/publications/Morrisonetal.ngeo2012.pdf …) 1/? #ClimateQA

Started my position at
@CUBoulder in 2011.@CUEngineering has been active in development and deployment of#UAS for decades. I worked with partners to set up aircraft for atmospheric research. 3/?#ClimateQANäytä tämä ketju -
I began deploying these to the field in 2014, and in 2015 was awarded a
#PECASE award by President Obama which offered a lot of opportunities to advance our capabilities. 4/?#ClimateQANäytä tämä ketju -
This really led up to the development of the current capabilities that are being deployed for
#NOAA_ATOMIC, MOSAiC and beyond. 5/?#ClimateQANäytä tämä ketju -
#UAS fill a gap in our observing networks. They can provide very detailed measurements of specific regions of the atmosphere because they fly substantially slower than large research aircraft. 6/?#ClimateQApic.twitter.com/sOdcpYJiEo

This allows for detailed observing (at high resolution) of a single location. They also offer a relatively affordable option for making very detailed measurements of the lower atmosphere. 7/?

They provide more information on the variability of the atmosphere over short time scales than weather balloons do. Ultimately all of these assets provide complementary information in different ways, with
#UAS offering revolutionary insights. 8/8#ClimateQANäytä tämä ketju
