This workshop will identify key science questions that can help reveal novel atmospheric chemistry processes and data fusion techniques that could be applied to address poor air quality in African megacities. African megacities have a unique mix of pollutants, emission sources, and meteorology. The future economic development of these cities are distinct from other more well-studied regions in the US and Europe. This workshop will assess and report on observational and modeling requirements that can address the unique chemistry in the atmosphere of an African megacity. Understanding the evolving influence of African megacities on regional to global atmospheric chemistry is critical for both air pollution control at local scale levels as well as predicting their role in climate change. The workshop will be held on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is planned as a 2.5-day meeting for September 13, 2023. A workshop web page will be used to announce workshop agenda, presentations, and final consensus reports. This effort will help develop a globally engaged scientific workforce that can focus on collaborative efforts to address the unique issues associated with air quality in African megacities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该研讨会将确定可以帮助揭示新型大气化学过程和数据融合技术的关键科学问题，这些技术可用于解决非洲大型大型空气质量差。非洲大城市具有独特的污染物，排放来源和气象。这些城市的未来经济发展与美国和欧洲的其他更精心著作的地区不同。该研讨会将评估和报告观察性和建模要求，这些要求可以解决非洲大气中的独特化学反应。了解非洲大城市对全球大气化学的不断发展的影响对于在局部规模水平的空气污染控制以及预测其在气候变化中的作用至关重要。该研讨会将在北卡罗来纳大学教堂山的校园举行，并计划作为2023年9月13日的2.5天会议。将使用研讨会网页来宣布讲习班议程，演讲和最终共识报告。这项工作将有助于发展全球参与的科学劳动力，该劳动力可以专注于协作努力，以解决与非洲大型大型空气质量相关的独特问题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
