Impacts of the Biosphere on Global Tropospheric Chemistry and Climate

该项目的重点是改善大气化学传输模式中生物圈-大气交换过程的表现。该项目的总体目标是调查未来土地使用变化对地表-大气交换过程的影响，并改进工业化前大气成分的定性。该项目将帮助制定促进空气质量和可持续环境的合理政策，该研究旨在评估和改进GEOS-Chem全球模型对干沉降、有机气溶胶老化和生物气溶胶的模拟。 这项工作的重点是短期气候强迫因素：臭氧和气溶胶。目前正在使用全球测地系统化学模型来分离地表变化对化学通量和大气成分的影响。 模拟结果将使用过去十年地面站点和空中活动的环境场观测进行评估。

This project is focused on improving the representation of biosphere-atmosphere exchange processes in atmospheric chemical transport models. The overall objectives of the project are to investigate the impact of future land-use change on surface-atmosphere exchange processes, and to improve the characterization of the pre-industrial atmospheric composition. The project will aid in the development of sound policies for promoting air quality and a sustainable environment.This research is directed toward evaluating and improving GEOS-Chem global model simulations of dry deposition, organic aerosol aging, and bioaerosols. The focus of this work is on short-lived climate forcers: ozone and aerosols. The GEOS-Chem model is being used to isolate the impact of land surface modifications on chemical fluxes and atmospheric composition. Modeling results will be evaluated using ambient field observations from surface sites and airborne campaigns over the last decade.
