What greenhouse work is CSIRO Atmospheric Research doing?
The Division studies changes to greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere as well as determining past changes to the make-up of air from bubbles trapped in ice cores. We are also using powerful scientific tools to establish where greenhouse gases are coming from and what happens to them once they reach the atmosphere. Divisional scientists also study the way in which the atmosphere, land surfaces and the oceans interact to determine our climate. The research involves satellite remote sensing and aircraft measurements, theory and numerical models and underpins development of more advanced climate models. We are examining clouds and cloud processes and the interaction of clouds and radiation. For this activity, we use data from satellite and ground-based remote sensing instruments. We have developed powerful computer-based global and regional climate models, linking models of the atmosphere, biosphere, oceans and sea-ice.
