Presidential Young Investigators Award: Effects of Airborne Particulate Matter on Atmospheric Radiative Transfer

这是一个支持研究的奖项， 那就是获得比现在更好的理解 空气中的颗粒物对区域的影响 能见度和气候。 实验室实验数据 这位年轻的总统 研究者将用于验证现有的辐射 将已经开发的计算机模型 预测气溶胶对大气中 光穿过地球大气层。 这项研究的结果可能会应用于 改进现有计算机和制定新计算机 空气污染控制设计模型 战略布局 预计这些结果还将有助于 阐明气溶胶在全球变暖中所发挥的作用。

This is an award to support research the objective of which is to obtain a better understanding than now exists of the effect that airborne particles have on regional visibility and climate. Data from laboratory experiments and field measurements by this Presidential Young Investigator will be used to validate existing radiative transfer computer models that have been developed to predict the effects that aerosols have on transfer of light through the earth's atmosphere. Results of this research are likely to be applied in improvement of existing and formulation of new computer models for use in designing air pollution control strategies. The results are also expected to assist in elucidating the role that aerosols play in global warming.
