http://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/chemistry/

Extractions: Atmospheric chemistry is the study of the chemical constituents of Earth's atmosphere, and the roles they play in influencing the atmosphere's temperature, radiation, and dynamics. Changes in the composition of the atmosphere can affect the habitability of the planet, for example, by altering long-term climate, depleting the ozone layer, or affecting air quality at the ground. Research in this field is therefore concerned with biogenic and anthropogenic emissions, trace gas distributions, and the chemical reactions of molecules and atoms in the atmosphere. Research in atmospheric chemistry at GISS includes near-term issues such as air quality and ozone depletion but is primarily focused on the longer-term linkages between atmospheric chemistry and global climate. Changes in the emission of chemical species naturally present in the atmosphere, such as the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO ), methane (CH ) and nitrous oxide (N O), or the addition of human-made chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), can affect climate by directly changing the absorption of radiation, and hence temperatures and dynamics. Chemical reactions involving these gases can also upset the chemical balance in the atmosphere, with effects such as depletion of Earth's protective stratospheric ozone layer or a reduction in the capacity of the troposphere to oxidize biogenic and anthropogenic emissions. Furthermore, these changes are all intricately connected, with temperature changes affecting the rates of chemical reactions, radiation changes affecting the rates of photochemical reactions, and dynamics changes affecting the distributions of all chemical species. We must therefore be concerned with the entire system, including Earth's biosphere for chemical emissions, the atmospheric circulation for transport of chemical species, the absorption of radiation, and the chemical reactions that take place in the atmosphere. Including chemistry in the GISS general circulation model allows us to simulate the non-linear interactions between all these components in our investigations of chemistry and climate change.

Extractions: The Division of Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry (MAC) carries out broadly based research on the chemistry of marine waters and the marine atmosphere, and maintains a high-quality well-rounded graduate program leading to the MS and Ph.D. degrees. The Division's activities are focused on understanding the cycling and transport of chemicals in the oceans and atmosphere. A central theme underlying much of the research in the Division is to use our understanding of geochemical cycles in order to assess the impact of man's activities on global and regional scales. The Division has fifteen faculty members and a large support staff involved in research including postdoctoral fellows, technicians, and graduate research assistants. The Division occupies the newest building on campus, which houses a major part of the School's chemical research activity. There is research on collaborative projects with the other Divisions at the Rosenstiel School especially Meteorology and Physical Oceanography, Marine Biology and Fisheries, and Marine Geology and Geophysics. The faculty of MAC cooperate closely with the Chemistry Department , located on the main campus of the University of Miami. Faculty members from MAC teach courses in the Department and members from the Division and the Department frequently serve on student committees across departmental boundaries.

http://www.sri.com/psd/research/atmos.html

Extractions: Models of the mesosphere and upper stratosphere predict concentrations of OH, O3, and HO2 that do not agree with recently available concentrations extracted from satellite observations. These chemical species have such short chemical lifetimes that their concentration is controlled by chemistry as opposed to transport. Sensitivity analysis shows the reactions O+HO2 and OH+HO2 are the key players in the chemistry of the HOx cycle, which controls the composition of the mesosphere and the upper stratosphere. Laboratory experiments to measure the rate constants of these reactions as a function of temperature are currently under way with support with NASA. The absorption of sunlight, photodissociation of the excited molecules, and the chemical reaction of the dissociation products drive the reactivity of the earth's atmosphere. Electronically and vibrationally excited atoms and molecules are produced in the earth's atmosphere by solar radiation and chemical reaction; some of these excited species radiate light. The spectral distribution of this light and the reactivity of the atmosphere are both controlled by energy transfer collisions. Energy transfer collisions are also important to quantitatively understand optical measurements of trace species in the atmosphere. Laboratory measurements to understand key energy transfer pathways and validate atmospheric sensor strategies are sponsored by NASA. Strategies for detecting OH and NO

Special Issues Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) is an international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and discussion of high quality studies investigating the Earth's atmosphere and the underlying chemical and physical processes. ACP has an innovative two-stage publication process which involves a scientific discussion forum and exploits the full potential of the internet to In the first stage, papers that pass a rapid access peer-review are immediately published on the Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Discussions (ACPD) website. They are then subject to interactive public discussion, during which the referees' comments (anonymous or attributed), additional short comments by other members of the scientific community (attributed) and the authors' replies are also published in ACPD. In the second stage, the peer-review process is completed and final revised papers are published in ACP. To ensure publication precedence for authors, and to provide a lasting record of scientific discussion, ACPD and ACP are both ISSN-registered, permanently archived and fully citable.

Our understanding of processes such as air pollution, stratospheric ozone depletion, global biogeochemical cycles, and global climate change is limited by the available observational data and by the number of trained investigators in this area. At the University of Maryland our research has focused on building the data base, using these data to improve numerical simulations, using computer model output to identify definitive measurements - through a balance of experiment and theory we can better understand the atmosphere. Collaboration with scientists from other disciplines helps to expand the range of people and variety of tools available to tackle these intriguing questions.

Extractions: Atmospheric Chemistry Technical Area Motivation Atmospheric chemistry influences human health, climate, food production and, through its impact on visibility, our view of the world. Chemicals in the air affect us with each breath we take. Suspended particulates that form from gas-phase reactions affect the amount of solar energy reaching the earth's surface. Not only government, but private industry, has a vested interest in improving our knowledge of these processes. Much of the work in atmospheric chemistry at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has focused on the fate of energy-related pollutants (e.g., ozone, nitrogen oxides, sulfur) in the lower part of the atmosphere, beginning with their emission into the atmosphere and continuing to their deposition at the Earth's surface. Examples of past work include studies of radionuclide deposition, the long-range transport of sulfur plumes, mechanisms by which sulfate aerosol enters precipitation, homogeneous nucleation mechanisms for the formation of natural aerosols, and the production of ozone from NO x and hydrocarbons. Almost all of our work has involved a combination of field studies using state-of-the-art airborne instrumentation and computer modeling.

Extractions: Research People Current Projects ... Links to other Sites The Dibble group uses lasers and high-end computers as tools to address questions such as: what are the degradation pathways of organic compounds in the polluted atmosphere? To what extent do particular compounds contribute to the formation of ozone, other air toxics, and particulates? (Answers to these questions are missing for most of the key compounds larger than butane!) The experimental work in Dr. Dibble's laboratory employs pulsed, tunable dye lasers to probe for stable and transient species. Both reaction kinetics and the spectroscopy of new species can be studied using two highly sensitive techniques: laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and (soon, we hope!) resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (REMPI and TOF-MS). The computational work uses commercially available quantum chemistry programs to carry out ab initio and density functional calculations. These methods are used to map out thermochemical kinetics and to explore and interpret the spectroscopy of as-yet uncharacterized species. See the article about our computational work in Access , the magazine of the National Compuational Science Alliance.
