collaborating institutions will perform research that include: (1) Controlled
laboratory measurements of optical properties of biomass burning (BB) aerosols
as a function of photochemical aging, burning and meteorological conditions
using the NCAT facility; (2) the implementation of updated smoke emission
factors and optical properties measured at NCAT in the GEOS-Chem
chemical-transport model to produce better estimates of the health and climate
impacts of smoke; (3) collection of filter samples of dust-smoke mixtures
aboard the NOAA research vessels, to measure the optical properties of these
aerosol mixtures and estimate the contributions from biomass smoke. (4)
Students participation in biomass-burning related field work in summer 2019
