Atmospheric Composition Change and its Climate Effect Studied by Chemical Transport Models Project Representative

Estimation of the Variation of Atmospheric Composition and Its Effect on the Climate Change by using a Chemical Transport Model Project Representative

Effect of climate change on air quality

Air quality is strongly dependent on weather and is therefore sensitive to climate change. Recent studies have provided estimates of this climate effect through correlations of air quality with meteorological variables, perturbation analyses in chemical transport models (CTMs), and CTM simulations driven by general circulation model (GCM) simulations of 21st-century climate change. We review th...

On the response of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current transport to climate change in coupled climate models

[1] The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3 (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report) models show a consistent intensification and poleward shift of the westerly winds over the Southern Ocean during the 21st century. However, the responses of the Antarctic Circumpolar Currents (ACC) show great diversity in these models, with many even showing reductio...

Influence of Mineral Dust Aerosol on the Chemical Composition of the Atmosphere PI :

This proposal outlines a program of scientific research and educational development focused on mineral dust aerosol, atmospheric chemistry, and curricular use of satellite data. Mineral dust impacts the chemical composition of the atmosphere by providing a surface for heterogeneous chemistry, and for light scattering and absorption at photolytic wavelengths. We propose to assess the current and...

Eessential Oil Composition of Achillea filipendulina, A. arabica and A. eriophora Cultivated under Temperate Climate in Iran

The Achillea L. genus has a wide distributional range, and the differences in oil composition may be affected by different environmental factors such as soil mineral fertilization, the climate conditions and the culture site. To evaluate the effect of temperate climate on content and chemical combination of essential oil of Achillea filipendulina Lam,  A. arabica Kotschy and A. eriophora DC., t...
