Collaborative Research: Impact of Aerosols on the Photochemistry during Megacity Impacts on Regional and Global Environments-Mexico City Pollution Outflow Field Campaign

本项目将于2006年2月至3月在《特大城市对区域和全球的影响》中研究二次有机碳质气溶胶对抑制光化学烟雾的影响。该项目将部署一套紫外线分光辐射计仪器和其他窄带辐照度仪器，以及一套用于模拟辐射转移、箱型光化学、后向轨迹和区域光化学的综合模型。测量和模拟将有助于确定墨西哥城盆地地面臭氧和污染气溶胶之间的相互关系，休斯顿大学和科罗拉多州立大学参与小组的研究生将参与该项目。本科生将通过高中科学课获得有关该项目研究结果的信息。

This project will investigate the impact of secondary organic carbonaceous aerosols on the suppression of photochemical smog in the Megacity Impacts on Regional and Global in February-March 2006. The project will deploy a suite of ultra-violet spectro-radiometer instruments and other narrow-band irradiance instruments, together with a set of comprehensive models for the simulation of radiative transfer, box model photochemistry, back trajectories and regional photochemistry. Measurements and simulations will help define the interrelations of surface-level ozone and pollution aerosols in the Mexico City basin.Graduate students from participating groups at the University of Houston and Colorado State University will be involved in the project. Undergraduates will receive information about the findings of the project via high school science classes.
