Curriculum
Vitae (pdf format, updated 2011)
Research Interests: Modeling the chemistry
in and around clouds
Chemistry in and around deep convection
Numerical
Simulations of the July 10 Stratospheric-Tropospheric Experiment: Radiation,
Aerosols, and Ozone/Deep Convection storm: Redistribution of Soluble Tracers
describes
the redistribution of tracers that have the same initial concentration
profile but have different solubitiies using a 3-dimensional convective
cloud model. (Last updated February 2004)
Chemistry in a large eddy simulation
Aqueous chemistry in the regional chemistry
transport model
The
Effect of Marine Boundary Layer Clouds on Tropospheric Chemistry as Analyzed
in a Regional Chemistry Transport Model describes results from HANK
simulations that included aqueous chemistry. These simulations over the
Pacific Basin show that aqueous chemistry coupled with the radiative effect
of clouds on photolysis rates can reduce ozone concentrations by 320 pptv
per day in the marine boundary layer. (Last updated December 4, 2001)
Chemistry will soon be implemented
within the Weather and Research Forecast
(WRF) Model . To produce a community assessment of approaches and methodologies,
a workshop
on modeling chemistry in cloud and mesoscale models was held 6-8 March
2000 in Boulder, Colorado. This link describes the topics presented at
the workshop and summarizes the discussion.
