Quotes by Scott Palo

“In order to understand the atmosphere as a whole, we have to understand how the layers of the atmosphere are coupled. Were trying to get our hands around the fundamental physical processes that are important to this region.”

“We have these trails of electrons left behind, and the wind in the upper atmosphere causes them to drift. It pushes them one direction or another. We can measure the speed at which those electrons are drifting and infer the wind speed.”

“Very little is known about this region because it hasnt been well measured, especially in the polar regions.”

“There are always things we are trying to improve. We always want to make the measurements better. Every year, we take incremental steps so that we have better data quality and a more reliable system. The longer it runs, the more we learn about how to make it better.”

“Its a nice way to have the family together.”
