CAREER: Global Modeling of Long-Range Transport of Tropospheric Ozone and Mercury

该职业项目的研究部分涉及臭氧和汞的对流层化学的全球三维(3-D)模拟。具体地说，PI将处理臭氧及其前体在北太平洋的长距离输送问题，并将把模拟结果与各种陆基和空中实地活动的数据进行比较。这项工作将系统地审查导致远距离运输事件的气象/化学机制，以及跨太平洋污染运输事件的个案研究。第二个项目将应用相同的模型，通过新开发的汞模块来研究汞的来源、化学转化和远程运输。教育活动将包括开发基于网络的课程材料，设计一个新的以项目为基础的大气化学建模研究生班，指导研究生和本科生，并参加国际和平研究所为科学和工程专业女研究生提供的指导计划。

The research component of this CAREER project involves global three-dimensional (3-D) modeling of the tropospheric chemistry of ozone and mercury. Specifically, the PI will address long-range transport of ozone and its precursors across the North Pacific and will compare modeling results with data from various ground-based and airborne field campaigns. This work will provide a systematic examination of meteorological/chemical mechanisms leading to long-range transport events, as well as case studies of trans-Pacific pollution transport events. The second project will apply the same model, augmented by a newly developed mercury module, to study sources, chemical transformation, and long-range transport of mercury.The educational activities will include the development of web based course material, the design of a new project-based graduate class in atmospheric chemistry modeling, mentoring of graduate and undergraduate students, and participation in mentoring programs at the PI's institution for women graduate students in science and engineering.
