Atmospheric Composition
Atmospheric Composition Research Theme Image source: www.climatescience.gov/Library/stratplan2003/ The changing composition of the atmosphere affects both regional air quality and global climate. Measurements and model simulations aim to better understand the distribution and impacts of trace gases, aerosol components, and cloud- and rainwater composition. Process studies focus on aerosol formation from

Climate Change
Climate Change Research Theme Climate Change on the regional scale is quantified using regional scale climate models such as HIRLAM (High Resolution Limited Area Model) and REMOTE (Regional Model with Tracer extension). Recent research using HIRLM, in collaboration with Met Eireann, has focused on quantification of changes in storminess over

Atmosphere-Ocean Exchange
Atmosphere-Ocean Exchange Research Theme Air-sea exchange is a major activity within C-CAPS. Research focuses on the exchange of aerosols and various trace gases with the ocean surface. Activities include measurements at Mace Head and on various research vessels. At Mace Head, measurements include eddy-correlation measurements of aerosol number, CO 2,
