个人简介
From 1962 through 1972, William Borucki conducted laboratory and theoretical studies of the radiation environment of entry vehicles. During this period, he developed spectroscopic instrumentation to determine the plasma properties of hypervelocity shock waves. Results of the investigations were used in the design of the heat shields for the Apollo missions. In 1972 he joined the Theoretical Studies Branch and developed photochemical models of the Earth's stratosphere and mesosphere to investigate the impact of nitric oxide and fluorocarbon emissions on ozone.
Another area of research concerns the effects of lightning activity in planetary atmospheres. He conducted laboratory efforts to determine the optical efficiency of lightning in each type of atmosphere and has used these measurements in conjunction with spacecraft observations to deduce the production rate of prebiological molecules in planetary atmospheres. One aspect of this work was the development of instrumentation to measure the fraction of optical energy coupled into and radiated out of, laser induced plasmas. He also participated in spacecraft observations to determine the amount and distribution of lightning activity on other planets.
