An atmospheric researcher whose joint 2001 study examined changes in Earth’s emitted infrared spectrum. The work uses the spectral signatures of atmospheric gases to investigate a changing greenhouse effect. It illustrates why retaining wavelength information can reveal physical processes hidden by a single broadband radiation measurement.[ref]
Increases in greenhouse forcing inferred from the outgoing longwave radiation spectra of the Earth in 1970 and 1997 by John E. Harries and others. Abstract and spectral comparison: outgoing longwave radiation as a diagnostic of atmospheric absorption
