We tour the NOAA Atmospheric Research Observatory at the South Pole where scientists are monitoring carbon dioxide levels, CFCs, solar radiation, and the ozone hole. Watch to learn why the South Pole is such a good place to make atmospheric measurements and to learn what their research is telling us about global climate change.
This collection of individual programs tells a wide range of stories, reflecting the diverse interests of the Exploratorium community.
