Projects

Early Career: Reducing Scale Dependence of Physics Parameterizations for Global Cloud Resolving Climate Models

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

William Gustafson

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

New climate models with variable resolution grids combined with the anticipated two-order reduction in climate model grid spacing, from roughly 100's to 1's km grid spacing, in the next…

A Molecular-to-Regional Scale Understanding of Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Jerome Fast

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Our hypothesis is that a better understanding of fast-reacting processes is needed to make a breakthrough in parameterizing secondary organic aerosols (SOA) for the next generation climate models. To…

Coupling Measurements and Modeling to Understand the Lifecycle of Secondary Organic Aerosol over Local to Regional Scales

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Jerome Fast

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Our hypothesis is that a better understanding of fast-reacting processes, such as the chemistry of volatile organic compounds associated with isoprene having a lifetime of ~minutes, is needed to make…
