云、气溶胶、污染物以及热力学和运动学环境之间的相互作用和反馈仍然是一个活跃的研究领域，对我们对气候、天气和空气质量的理解具有重要意义。在沿海和城市环境中，这些联系更加复杂，当地环流和人为影响影响着这些组成部分及其相互作用。在此背景下，有关对流云、气溶胶和污染物生命周期的基本问题汇集了科学家的多样化、综合性和跨机构合作，以收集和分析德克萨斯州休斯顿地区从 2021 年夏季到 2022 年夏季的测量结果，并进行后续的建模研究来解决这些重要的研究目标。美国能源部的大气辐射测量 (ARM) 设施和大气系统研究 (ASR) 计划、美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 的物理和动态气象学计划、美国国家航空航天局 (NASA) 的对流层成分研究和健康与空气质量应用科学计划以及德克萨斯州环境质量委员会 (TCEQ) 正在合作开展一系列联合实地活动，以研究云、 沿海、城市环境中的气溶胶和污染物。在休斯顿地区，来自墨西哥湾的陆上气流和相关的海风循环产生了许多孤立的对流单元，特别是在夏季，与各种城市和工业排放相互作用。
The interactions and feedbacks among clouds, aerosols, pollutants, and the thermodynamic and kinematic environment remains an area of active research with important implications for our understanding of climate, weather and air quality. These linkages are further complicated in coastal and urban environments where local circulations and anthropogenic influences impact each of these components and their interactions. Within this context, fundamental questions regarding the lifecycle of convective clouds, aerosols and pollutants have brought together a diverse, integrated, and interagency collaboration of scientists to collect and analyze measurements, in the Houston, Texas, area, from the summer of 2021 through the summer of 2022, with subsequent modeling studies to address these important research objectives. The US Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Facility and Atmospheric System Research (ASR) Program, the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Physical and Dynamic Meteorology Program, the National Aeronautic and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) Tropospheric Composition Research and Health and Air Quality Applied Sciences Programs and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) are collaborating on a joint set of field campaigns to study the interactions of cloud, aerosol, and pollutants within the coastal, urban environment. In the Houston area, onshore flow from the Gulf of Mexico and the associated sea breeze circulation generates numerous isolated convective cells, particularly in the summer months, that interact with a variety of urban and industrial emissions.
