The
UARS
satellite
was
launched
in
1991.
Designed
to
operate
for
three
years,
seven
of
its
ten
instruments
were
still
functioning
as
of
November
2003.
UARS
measures
ozone
and
chemical
compounds
found
in
the
ozone
layer
which
affect
ozone
chemistry
and
processes.
UARS
also
measures
winds
and
temperatures
in
the
stratosphere
as
well
as
the
energy
input
from
the
Sun.
Together,
these
help
define
the

scientists
who
examine
the
unusually
high
mortality
rate
of
sugar
maple
and
red
spruce
trees
as
a
means
of
illuminating
broader
issues
affecting
forests
of
the
Northeastern
United
States.
The
scientists
discuss
the
decline
of
these
species
and
whether
it
is
a
local
phenomenon,
or
if
it
is
indicative
of
larger
regional-scale
disturbances.
