flag New Zealand and U.S. scientists are studying Antarctic heat loss using satellites and ground sensors to improve climate models.

flag New Zealand and U.S. scientists are conducting a first-of-its-kind climate study in Antarctica, using a ground-based infrared spectrometer at Scott Base and data from NASA’s PREFIRE satellites to measure far-infrared radiation—key to understanding heat loss from Earth’s surface and the greenhouse effect. flag The 12-month project, part of the international SHIRE initiative, aims to improve climate models by analyzing how rising water vapor and warming oceans affect Antarctic ice stability and sea level rise.
