- Instrumentation
- Radiative transfer model development and validation
- Thermodynamic profiling
- Cloud property remote sensing
- Climate studies
The workshop presenters were from research groups worldwide involved in far-infrared remote sensing. The workshop took place November 8-9, 2011, in the Pyle Center on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, at 702 Langdon St, Madison, WI 53706.
