The
Atmospheric Sciences Division is engaged in a wide range of
programs encompassing interpretive and theoretical studies, measurement
methodology, laboratory experiments, and field studies. Areas of research
include (1) development of methods and practical instruments for detection and
real-time measurement of a variety of atmospheric constituents for use in field
studies and laboratory experiments; (2) development and application of gaseous
tracers applicable at extremely low concentrations for studies of atmospheric
transport and dispersion, building air infiltration and ventilation, geophysics
of oil and gas recovery from production wells, and leak detection in fluid
handling systems; (3) theoretical, laboratory, and field studies directed at
understanding the formation and behavior of aerosols; (4) studies of the
formation, transport, mixing, and removal of gaseous and particulate pollutants
in ambient air; (5) modeling of the kinetics of chemical reactions of
atmospheric pollutants; (6) laboratory and field studies directed at the
incorporation of sulfur and nitrogen oxides into cloudwater with the consequent
formation of acid rain; (7) theoretical and observational studies of radiative
transfer and fluxes in the atmosphere; and (8) analysis of data and development
of parameterizations relevant to global climate change.
Support
for our research comes largely from the United States Department of Energy (DOE), mainly from its Environmental
Sciences Division (ESD)
within the Office of Biological and Environmental Research (OBER), with
additional support from other US Government agencies, including the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Important non-governmental support
comes from agencies such as the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).
(Environmental Sciences) of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).
