ONLINE: Understanding Ozone and Lake Breeze Meteorology Using Unmanned Aerial Systems at the Lake Michigan Shoreline
media release: Speaker: Dr. Patricia Cleary (Associate Professor, Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire)
Abstract: I have been studying Lake Michigan air quality for over 10 years employing measurements via various platforms including a large building-mounted spectrometer, a ferry, an automobile and now unmanned aerial vehicles. This talk will describe the motivations for measuring ozone and meteorological variables on an unmanned aerial vehicle near the shores of Lake Michigan and data from a campaign in June 2020 to connect surface measurements to low-altitude meteorological phenomena in a shoreline environment.

Each semester the Climate, People, and the Environment Program hosts a weekly seminar featuring lectures by visiting speakers as well as presentations by CPEP faculty, scientists, and students. In some semesters the CPEP Seminar has a unifying theme and, in addition to speakers, weekly meetings may serve as workshops to discuss research issues and be a springboard for collaborative papers. CPEP seminar presentations are held in conjunction with the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) and are open to the public. Events are listed on the Environmental Events calendar by the Nelson Institute and posted in AOS and other relevant departments.
