About Gary

My career with CU/CIRES and NOAA falls under the umbrella of atmospheric science. Under that umbrella I’m an expert on surface radiation budget measurements. Think of this as energy from the sun coupled with energy radiated from the atmosphere and earth that all together results in the heating or cooling of earth’s surface.

I’m hopeful I’ll learn a lot from all of you, and I’m sure I will because in the short time I’ve been campaigning my assumed direction of this adventure is already being altered. Feel free to reach out and send me a message HERE.

Cheers!

Gary Hodges
