Emissions, transport and transformations of aerosols and trace gases from Asia increasingly impact local, regional and even global environments. The chemical and physical mechanisms by which atmospheric processes change the properties and concentrations of trace gases and aerosols remain challenging questions in tropospheric chemistry research. Through partnerships with Peking University, Beijing Normal University, and the Hebei provincial weather service, this collaborative study, Air Chemistry Research In Asia (ARIAs) will facilitate concurrent aircraft and ground measurements, aerosol optical properties and trace gas composition over the North China Plain (NCP). Ultimately, the results from this project will improve theory and predictive capability of environmental models, used to develop mitigation strategies for air pollution from the Asian continent and to better understand the fate of short-lived climate forcers such as ozone and aerosols in these high population, high emission environments. The project will also serve to further educate a research associate, and graduate and undergraduate students and, through its outreach component, K-12 students. The project will also renew collaborations with leading Chinese research groups.

来自亚洲的气溶胶和微量气体的排放、运输和转化对当地、区域甚至全球环境的影响越来越大。大气过程改变微量气体和气溶胶性质和浓度的化学和物理机制仍然是对流层化学研究中具有挑战性的问题。通过与北京大学、北京师范大学和河北省气象局的合作，这项名为“亚洲空气化学研究”（ARIAs）的合作研究将促进华北平原（NCP）上空的飞机和地面同步测量、气溶胶光学特性和微量气体组成。最终，该项目的成果将提高环境模型的理论和预测能力，用于制定亚洲大陆空气污染的缓解战略，并更好地了解臭氧和气溶胶等短期气候因素在这些人口多、排放高的环境中的命运。该项目还将进一步教育研究助理，研究生和本科生，并通过其外展部分，K-12学生。该项目还将与中国领先的研究小组重新开展合作。
