NCAR/ACOM | CESM Chemistry Climate Working Group (CCWG) Community Science Liaison. MUSICA Evaluation and Data Assimilation working group co-lead. Research includes understanding fire pollution impact on air quality and climate, determining local versus distant contributions to pollution, quantifying the two-way feedback between climate and chemistry. Model experiments: 1. Full chemistry simulation over long time periods; 2. Intercomparison of fire inventories; 3. Regional refined grid over Australia to study the 2019/2020 extreme wildfire season. | 2023-01-25 | |
