Yu Chuan Shan, Ben Banet, and I have been working the past couple of years on developing a monthly database of upward radiance from within and buffers around all of the National Park units in the United States. They are presenting the research today at the USC undergraduate research symposium. The results presented only scratch the surface of what we can do to analyze this high-resolution database over space and time.
Shan also put together a website to walk through the project.
