NOAA Climate.gov tweet chat
The NOAA Climate.gov tweet chat on 29 August 2019 marked the second busiest individual day on the NOAAClimate twitter handle in the prior 6 months earning ~150,000 views. The chat featured three scientists who are part of the NOAA CPO Atmospheric Chemistry Carbon Cycle and Climate (AC4) Program-supported FIREX-AQ field campaign. Joshua "Shuka" Schwarz (NOAA ESRL CSD mission scientist and primary mission contact), Steven Brown (NOAA ESRL CSD) and Kelley Barsanti (UC Riverside and AC4-funded) answered questions from the public on what FIREX-AQ is all about, why studying smoke is important, and how planes measure smoke in the first place. NOAA Climate.gov posted select Q&A of the discussion.
