Crafoordpriset till Ramanathan – här är klimatupptäckterna bakom priset | Forskning & Framsteg Under 1970-talet arbetade Veerabhadran Ramanathan för den amerikanska rymdstyrelsen Nasa. Med hjälp av satelliter mätte han jordens energibudget – balansen mellan den del av solens energi …

Länge trodde man att det endast var koldioxid som bidrog till den globala uppvärmningen. Men Veerabhadran Ramanathan visade att bilden var mer komplex. Hans upptäckter har förändrat synen på vad som påverkar atmosfären – nu får han Crafoordpriset. ⬇️
