Instrumentation dream team
Scientists at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) are proposing a sensor network called the LOwer Troposphere Observing System (LOTOS). LOTOS aims to improve observations of the troposphere, the lowest region of Earth's atmosphere, by simultaneously sampling the atmosphere horizontally and vertically.
