Funds are requested for a computational hardware to support research in air quality, climate, and biogeochemical cycling. The primary hardware requirement is sufficient hard-disk storage. A secondary hardware requirement is for an associated computing environment. The proposed infrastructure will form an essential part of the research program of the Atmospheric Composition Analysis Group at Dalhousie University. The infrastructure will be used to support satellite retrievals of atmospheric composition, and interpretation of observations using a global numerical modeling of atmospheric composition. Expected results include improved estimates of global air quality, of global emissions of atmospheric pollution, and an improved understanding of the effect of changes in atmospheric composition on climate. The infrastructure will form an integral part of the training of students and postdoctoral fellows in the group.

要求提供资金，用于计算机硬件，以支持空气质量、气候和地球化学循环方面的研究。主要的硬件要求是足够的硬盘存储。第二个硬件要求是相关的计算环境。拟议的基础设施将成为达尔豪西大学大气成分分析小组研究计划的重要组成部分。该基础设施将用于支持大气成分的卫星反演，以及使用大气成分全球数值模型对观测结果进行解释。预期成果包括改进对全球空气质量、全球大气污染排放量的估计，以及更好地了解大气成分变化对气候的影响。基础设施将成为该集团学生和博士后研究员培训的一个组成部分。
