Cloud Base Lasers Offer New Way to Measure Ocean Humidity

Original: Cloud Base Lasers Offer a New Way to Measure the Ocean’s Hidden Humidity

Researchers have unveiled a laser-based technique that measures humidity in the marine boundary layer, the moist air layer just above the ocean surface. By directing lasers from cloud bases, scientists can gather data on hidden moisture that influences weather and climate models. The method could improve forecasting of storms and ocean-atmosphere heat exchange.

Why now: New research on a novel laser technique for ocean humidity is drawing attention from climate and weather communities
