CERES Radiation Validation Experiment (CRAVE) Program Contacts

CRAVE Program and Research Centers

The CERES Radiation Validation Experiment (CRAVE), conducted under NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC), continues to provide critical data for atmospheric science and radiative transfer measurements. Research operations are mainly centered at the Langley Research Center (LRC) in Virginia and Granite Island, Michigan (GIM).

Key Researchers and Task Distribution

Dr. Seung-Hee Ham serves as the Principal Investigator for the program at NASA LaRC. Dr. Ham is responsible for the scientific direction of the CRAVE project and the experimental processes across both Granite Island and Langley sites.

Observation Stations and Data Management

Senior research scientists play active roles in field management and data network operations. Fred Denn serves as the MPL Site Manager, CRAVE Data Lead, and Station Scientist for both BSRN-LRC and BSRN-GIM, while Bryan Fabbri contributes to data collection and validation as AERONET Site Manager and BSRN researcher.
