520 _a"It was November 2002, and [Ilan] Koren had arrived at NASA only 3 months earlier, having just received his doctorate degree from the University of Tel Aviv, where he studied clouds. In school, Koren loved delving into the mysteries of how and why clouds form and change over time. On one level, he appreciated clouds for their beauty. On a deeper level, he recognized their power--clouds regulate the flow of radiant energy into and out of Earth's climate system."
