The chemical composition of the Earth’s atmosphere is changing due to the influence of human activity. These changes are affecting, and will continue to affect, the quality of life on Earth. Currently, three of the most important issues in atmospheric science are ozone layer recovery, emission and transport of air pollutants and climate change because of their negative effects on human health and ecosystems. Measurements of atmospheric gases are necessary to understand these issues and to monitor atmospheric gases as part of international treaties and protocols. To address these issues, my research group makes measurements from the ground to study the chemical makeup of the Earth's atmosphere and how it is changing with time. To further this research program, we will undertake the following projects over the next five years.

由于人类活动的影响，地球大气层的化学成分正在发生变化。这些变化正在影响并将继续影响地球上的生活质量。目前，大气科学中最重要的三个问题是臭氧层恢复、空气污染物的排放和迁移以及气候变化，因为它们对人类健康和生态系统产生了负面影响。为了了解这些问题，并作为国际条约和议定书的一部分监测大气气体，测量大气气体是必要的。为了解决这些问题，我的研究小组从地面进行测量，研究地球大气的化学组成以及它如何随时间变化。为了进一步推进这项研究计划，我们将在未来五年内开展以下项目。
