Tackling Atmospheric Chemistry Grand Challenges in the Southern Hemisphere

该项目旨在提供南半球对当前大气化学挑战的看法：空气质量、氧化能力、平流层变化和化学-气候相互作用。澳大利亚在相对清洁的南半球的地理位置为研究人类影响有限的环境提供了一个独特的机会，而在人口更多的北半球，这个机会基本上已经失去了。该项目的预期成果包括用于监测澳大利亚空气质量的经过验证的地面和卫星数据集，用于预测未来大气变化的改进的大气模型，以及更深入地了解推动全球大气组成的过程。

The project aims to provide a southern hemisphere perspective on current challenges in atmospheric chemistry: air quality, oxidation capacity, stratospheric change, and chemistry–climate interactions. Australia’s geographic position in the relatively clean southern hemisphere allows a unique opportunity to study environments with limited human influence, an opportunity that has largely been lost in the more populous northern hemisphere. The intended outcomes of the project include validated ground-based and satellite datasets for monitoring Australia’s air quality, improved atmospheric models for predicting future atmospheric change, and a deeper understanding of the processes driving atmospheric composition worldwide.
