ENCORE
EmissioN verifiCation fOr nitRous oxide (ENCORE) Overview The Center for Climate and Air Pollution Studies (CCAPS) is dedicated to investigating changes in atmospheric composition and their implications for pollution, with consequences ranging from local to global scales. These changes impact both human health and the environment. CCAPS envisions developing advanced observational and forecasting capabilities […]

COAST VOC
Linking coastal marine biodiversity to climate through volatile organic compounds In COAST–VOC, we explore the VOC emissions of vegetated coastal areas, and how these productive and diverse ecosystems and their emissions can impact atmospheric aerosol particles, cloud formation and subsequent climate regulation. Our research is performed on many different scales and levels of detail, from […]

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 gases (gas-to-particle conversion), impacts of […]

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 the North Atlantic resulting from […]
