Researcher Teams With Yellow Cab To Study Houston Air Quality
Dr. Gunnar Schade, assistant professor of atmospheric sciences in the College of Geosciences at Texas A&M University, is getting some unique help from Yellow Cab in Houston. The company is allowing Dr. Schade to use its 300-foot-tall communications tower at no charge.
Dr. Schade has installed sensitive instruments that measure surface winds and concentrations of air pollutants on the tower. This research will be applied to air quality questions important to Houston and the State of Texas.
