Regional & Process Modeling
Group Lead: Mary Barth
Scientific Objectives
RPM contributes to ACOM's primary research goals through the identification of key atmospheric chemical transformations and physical processes affecting chemical constituents.
Topics include: 1) global, regional, and urban air quality, 2) the chemistry of the climate system, and 3) radiative properties and forcing of anthropogenic pollutants, .
Research Topics
- Field campaign data analysis (MIRAGE, DC3, SAS, FRAPPE)
- Learn more about WRF-Chem modeling of DC3 thunderstorms
- Explicit and 3D modeling of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) constituents
- Learn more about GECKO-A modeling of an urban plume
- Learn more about WRF-Chem studies of SOA production and removal
- Learn more about a computationally-fast method of representing SOA formation
- Cloud-aerosol interactions
- Learn more about WRF-Chem modeling of cloud-aerosol interactions in India
- Future Air Quality in South Asia using WRF-Chem (PIs: Rajesh Kumar, Mary Barth)
- Learn more about NRCM-Chem modeling of future air quality in South Asia
- Effects of UV radiation on photochemistry and the biosphere
- Changing Emissions on Regional and Global Scales
- Learn more about development and evaluation of fire emissions
- Learn more about emissions and impacts in Africa
- Learn more about WRF-chem studies to evaluate the impacts of residential emissions in China
