Accolades and Service

Service: Gloria Manney was the co-lead of the SPARC Emerging Activity "Observed Composition Trends and Variability in the Upper Troposphere / Lower Stratosphere (OCTAV-UTLS)."

January 2017

OCTAV-UTLS is a new SPARC activity that will assess our ability to detect and quantify global and regional composition trends in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) from current observational datasets from many platforms (satellite, balloon, aircraft, lidar,...), and make recommendations for future measurement needs.

Thank you Gloria!
