AIT (U.S.) - CCNAA (Taiwan) Cooperative Research: Development and Application of Regional-Scale Atmospheric Chemistry and Transport Models

这是一个为期三年的合作研究项目，由纽约州立大学奥尔巴尼分校的Julius Chang博士和台湾国立大学的郑福田教授提出，由AIT(美国)-CCNAA(台湾)合作科学计划支持。这项研究计划开发一个区域大气化学模式。该项目是美台计划支持的长期空气质量变化及其气候影响双边会议的产物。这是美国特别感兴趣的话题，可以对了解台湾的空气污染问题产生重大影响。这个项目的主要资金来源是台湾环境保护局，台湾国科会提供了计算机模拟模型的时间。这一合作预计将提高台湾在大气化学方面的专业知识，同时从一个几乎没有现有信息的地区向美国提供重要数据。

This is a three year cooperative research project proposed by Dr. Julius Chang, SUNY at Albany, New York, and Professor Fu-Tien Jeng, National Taiwan University, supported by the AIT (U.S.) - CCNAA (Taiwan) Cooperative Science Program. This study plans to develop a regional model of atmospheric chemistry. This project is the product of the bilateral meeting on long-term air quality changes and their climatic impact supported by the US-Taiwan Program. The topic is of special interest to the U.S. and can have significant effects on understanding air pollution problems in Taiwan. The major funding resources for this project are the Taiwan Environmental Protection Agency, the Taiwan National Science Council has provided the computer time for model simulation. This cooperation is expected to improve expertise in atmospheric chemistry in Taiwan, while providing important data to the U.S. from a region with little existing information.
