«We have flown
radiation sensors onboard 264 research flights at altitudes as high as 17.3 km (56,700 ft) from 2013 to 2017,» says Kent Tobiska, lead author of the paper and PI of the NASA - supported
program Automated
Radiation Measurements for Aerospace Safety (ARMAS).
Scientists from these agencies will undertake
programs in climate modelling, atmosphere
radiation measurement, atmospheric science, the terrestrial carbon cycle, the ocean carbon cycle, and ecosystem research
program, and finally will produce an integrated assessment, according to Dr. Raymond Orbach, the Energy Department's director of the Office of Science.
