See also: - Atmospheric Aerosol Research Department, Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research (IMK), Research Centre Karlsruhe. - Research into regional and continental chemistry and the fate of tropospheric air pollutants, extracontinental and global chemistry and the fate of tropospheric air pollutants, and aerosol genesis. - UK NERC Thematic Research Programme to investigate the chemistry of the lower atmosphere (0 - 12 km) over the oceans. The studies aim to bring about a clearer understanding of natural processes in the remote marine atmosphere, and how these processes are affected by atmospheric pollution originating from the continents. - Research into the occurrence and behavior of volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere. - Atmospheric Sciences Division of Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA. 30 scientists working mainly in atmospheric chemistry, the site provides links to personnel, publications, and research activities. - ATMOS is an infrared spectrometer (a Fourier transform interferometer) that is designed to study the chemical composition of the atmosphere from space. - The station, which the Bureau of Meteorology operates jointly with CSIRO Atmospheric Research, is a highly sophisticated, world-class facility. It supplies vital information about changes to the atmospheric composition of the Southern Hemisphere. - At the University of York, Ontario, CAC was formed to foster cooperative research in atmospheric chemistry, to take a leading role in Canada in the education of a new generation of qualified atmospheric chemists, and to provide a communications link between York atmospheric chemists and the national and international atmospheric chemistry community. - Joint venture of several departments within the University of Cambridge. Areas of research include modelling studies of stratospheric and tropospheric chemistry, the kinetics of reactions important for atmospheric chemistry and fundamental dynamical processes in the atmosphere. - Co-operative programme for the monitoring and evaluation of the long range transmission of air pollutants in Europe. - The EUREKA atmospheric environmental project on the Transport and Chemical Transformation of Environmentally Relevant Trace Constituents in the Troposphere over Europe. - Research on the transformation processes of chemical components of the atmosphere using photochemical reactors to simulate actual conditions. - Provides measurements for better understanding of the climate forcing by aerosol particles. - GTE is primarily an aircraft-based program supplemented by ground-based measurements and satellite observations and aims to understand the chemical processes in the troposphere on a global scale. - Information about research and academics. - Research activities include atmospheric chemistry, aerosol physics, aerobiology and cloud physics and precipitation. - Research is focused on the chemical and transport processes that determine atmospheric composition, dynamics, and climate, including man-made perterbations to those processes. - The NASA Langley Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) archives and distributes data relating to Radiation Budget, Clouds, Aerosols, and Troposheric Chemistry. - Site contains research overview and descriptions of current and past field experiments and modeling projects. - The overall scientific goal of ACD is to identify and quantify the natural and anthropogenic processes that regulate the chemical composition of the troposphere and middle atmosphere and to assess future changes caused by human activities. - Activities include research on airborne releases of mercury compounds, airborne mercury speciation, atmospheric deposition in mountainous terrain, atmospheric mercury cycling, biogeochemical cycling of mercury in northern wetlands, and development of laser-induced plasma spectroscopy for continuous multielemental emission monitoring. - Atmospheric chemistry and global change research at the Pacific Marine Environment Laboratory of NOAA. Details of research programmes and data server are given. - Measurements and analysis of the relative contribution from air traffic exhaust emissions to the composition of the lower stratosphere and upper troposphere at altitudes between 9 and 13 km within and near the flight corridor over the North Atlantic. - Research at UCSD into atmospheric chemistry and single particle analysis - A collaboration among academic, government and private sector atmospheric scientists involved in regional atmospheric modelling, remote sensing and atmospheric aerosol studies. - The impact of subsonic aircraft emissions on tropospheric NOx and ozone budgets that focus on upper tropospheric chemistry and are acknowledged to be limited with respect to treatment of transport and the tropospheric NOx budget.
