ASRC Partners with DOE to Enhance Offshore Wind Research Buoys
ASRC researchers are leading a project with the Department of Energy's (DOE) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to tap into the underutilized renewable energy source of off-shore wind with a buoy-based flux measurement system.
The “flux-lidar” buoy will provide continuous data every 15 to 30 minutes on a number of atmospheric surface fluxes such as heat, momentum and moisture, while also observing wind speed and direction profiles at heights of several kilometers above sea surface. Both undergraduate and graduate student researchers are supporting the project.

What is your area of specialty/focus?
I am seeking my PhD. My area of focus is Atmospheric chemistry (cloud chemistry).
What influenced you to study atmospheric sciences?
I have always been a happy nephophile, very enthusiastic about the sky above. I grew up in a coastal cyclone-prone area. Witnessing the sky changing colors along with the cloud cover has been the main driving force that led me to pursue Atmospheric Science as a career.
