Dr. Baier is a Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) Research Scientist affiliated with the Carbon Cycle and Greenhouse Gases group within NOAA’s Global Monitoring Laboratory (GML). Dr. Baier serves as the lead scientist for the NOAA AirCore program, and conducts routine atmospheric profiling of greenhouse gases and other trace species from the surface to the stratosphere using multiple platforms including small unmanned systems, high-altitude balloons, and aircraft. Using the AirCore sampling system and other ground-based remote-sensing instrumentation, she also contributes to the validation of satellite trace gas retrievals from multiple space-borne platforms. Dr. Baier joined GML’s Carbon Cycle and Greenhouse Gases Aircraft Program in 2016 and also contributes to the design of trace gas measurement systems and platforms, design and implementation of balloon-based and aircraft field studies and campaigns, and data analysis and dissemination of results.
