An atmospheric researcher whose joint work with John E. Harries and colleagues used infrared spectra to investigate the greenhouse effect. Comparing radiation escaping to space at different wavelengths distinguishes the influence of atmospheric gases from a simple change in total emitted power.[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: spectral structure of outgoing radiation and the imprint of greenhouse gases
