  • Atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics

Two recent papers highlight Vaughan's contributions to the field. In 2021, they published Measurement Report: Lidar measurements of stratospheric aerosol following the 2019 Raikoke and Ulawun volcanic eruptions in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. In 2024, Vaughan contributed to a paper on the Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS) published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.

Vaughan frequently collaborates with other researchers including:

  • D. P. Wareing
  • Hugo Ricketts
  • Paolo Laj
  • Cathrine Lund Myhre
  • Véronique Riffault

Their publications have appeared primarily in the following venues:

  • Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
  • Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society

Vaughan's work is situated within the broader context of atmospheric studies, contributing to ongoing research in aerosol properties, cloud dynamics, and atmospheric chemistry, which are essential for understanding climate processes and environmental change.
