STAR is a subdivision of the NOAA Climate
Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory. The STAR
group's activities involve empirical and theoretical research of the
Earth's surface radiation budget. The group specializes
in the investigation of climatically significant variations in long-term
radiation and meteorological measurements made
primarily at a globally diverse network of
surface sites. Our research interests are in
the extent and cause of observed variations, and in collaborating with other
research groups making satellite observations and climate model calculations.
In addition, we make some relative observations of spectral solar radiation
for the purpose of remote sensing of certain atmospheric constituents.
A relatively new program in the group is the absolute measurement of spectral
solar UV for the investigation of the interaction of ozone and solar
radiation.
