In the field of planetary and atmospheric sensing, linear arrays capable of simultaneously measuring height - resolved spectral features would have a major
impact on issues such as climate change and
ozone chemistry,» explains Peter de Maagt, ESA's project manager for Star Tiger.
The EPA report is concerned with the
impacts that climate change can have on atmospheric
chemistry, and in particular the summertime peaks in urban ground - level
ozone which are a well - known and serious health hazard.
While participating in a November conference connected with the International Year of
Chemistry, I spent time talking with Molina of the University of California, San Diego, a 1995 laureate in
chemistry for his work (with others) on the atmospheric
impact of
ozone - destroying refrigerants and related chemicals.

Ozone Assessment, predict that the Antarctic ozone hole will achieve full recovery in the second half of this century, and that this may have profound impacts on the surface winds and, likely, on other aspects of the Earth's climate, including surface temperatures, locations of storm tracks, extent of dry zones, amount of sea ice, and ocean circula

Thus while in theory, a revision in
ozone chemistry, or soil respiration or aerosol properties might
impact the full ESM, it won't affect the more basic stuff (like the sensitivity to CO2).
Topics that I work on or plan to work in the future include studies of: + missing aerosol species and sources, such as the primary oceanic aerosols and their importance on the remote marine atmosphere, the in - cloud and aerosol water aqueous formation of organic aerosols that can lead to brown carbon formation, the primary terrestrial biological particles, and the organic nitrogen + missing aerosol parameterizations, such as the effect of aerosol mixing on cloud condensation nuclei and aerosol absorption, the semi-volatility of primary organic aerosols, the importance of in - canopy processes on natural terrestrial aerosol and aerosol precursor sources, and the mineral dust iron solubility and bioavailability + the change of aerosol burden and its spatiotemporal distribution, especially with regard to its role and importance on gas - phase
chemistry via photolysis rates changes and heterogeneous reactions in the atmosphere, as well as their effect on key gas - phase species like
ozone + the physical and optical properties of aerosols, which affect aerosol transport, lifetime, and light scattering and absorption, with the latter being very sensitive to the vertical distribution of absorbing aerosols + aerosol - cloud interactions, which include cloud activation, the aerosol indirect effect and the
impact of clouds on aerosol removal + changes on climate and feedbacks related with all these topics In order to understand the climate system as a whole, improve the aerosol representation in the GISS ModelE2 and contribute to future IPCC climate change assessments and CMIP activities, I am also interested in understanding the importance of natural and anthropogenic aerosol changes in the atmosphere on the terrestrial biosphere, the ocean and climate.
