CAREER: Global Modeling of Long-Range Transport of Tropospheric Ozone and Mercury

该CAREER项目的研究部分涉及对流层臭氧和汞化学的全球三维（3-D）建模。具体而言，PI将解决臭氧及其前体在整个北太平洋的远距离迁移问题，并将把建模结果与各种地面和空中实地活动的数据进行比较。这项工作将对导致远距离迁移事件的气象/化学机制以及跨太平洋污染迁移事件的案例研究进行系统的审查。第二个项目将采用同样的模式，并通过新开发的汞模块进行增强，以研究汞的来源、化学转化和远距离迁移，教育活动将包括开发基于网络的课程材料，设计一个新的基于项目的大气化学建模研究生班，指导研究生和本科生，以及参与PI机构为科学和工程专业女研究生开设的辅导方案。

The research component of this CAREER project involves global three-dimensional (3-D) modeling of the tropospheric chemistry of ozone and mercury. Specifically, the PI will address long-range transport of ozone and its precursors across the North Pacific and will compare modeling results with data from various ground-based and airborne field campaigns. This work will provide a systematic examination of meteorological/chemical mechanisms leading to long-range transport events, as well as case studies of trans-Pacific pollution transport events. The second project will apply the same model, augmented by a newly developed mercury module, to study sources, chemical transformation, and long-range transport of mercury.The educational activities will include the development of web based course material, the design of a new project-based graduate class in atmospheric chemistry modeling, mentoring of graduate and undergraduate students, and participation in mentoring programs at the PI's institution for women graduate students in science and engineering.
