CSD Tropospheric Chemistry Research

Tropospheric chemical research relies on measurements of the chemical and physical processes of the troposphere, particularly the effects of pollution on those processes. These measurements are obtained from mobile and ground-based platforms during coordinated field projects including ARCPAC 2008, ICEALOT 2008, TexAQS 2006, NEAQS-ITCT or ICARTT 2004, ITCT 2002, NEAQS 2002, TexAQS 2000, and SOS 1999. In addition, we also have information about field projects before 1999.

Air Quality, Climate Change, Air Pollution

Our field experiments have been designed to address components of these major topics by making measurements of chemical species, aerosol size and composition, as well as solar radiation using a large suite of instruments. These measurements are made by scientists from CSD as well as those from other institutions that we collaborate with. Here you can find this data from all of our major field campaigns.

Field projects begun after 1999 are identified on the map below. Click or move your mouse over the project name for more information.
