SeaSCAPE was a large scale study at the SIO wave channel facility during which we probed the processes that control the emission of particles and gases from the ocean and how these are transformed by atmospheric oxidation. Over the course of a month and half, this CAICE study involved nearly 90 people from academic institutions from across the country, including UC Davis.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

FIREX 2016<\/h3>

\"2016<\/p>

Biomass burning (aka forest fires) are a major source of particles and gases to the atmosphere. Given the diversity of fuels (e.g. different tree types) and burn conditions, full understanding of the properties of biomass burning-derived particles, and especially the impacts of atmospheric processing, is difficult. The 2016 FIREX study at the USDA Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory focused on refining our understanding of emissions and short timescale processing. In collaboration with the Kroll group (MIT), we deployed a novel \u201cminiChamber\u201d to investigate how photochemical aging alters the properties of biomass burning-derived particles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Simultaneously, the NASA ER2 flew overhead with next-generation remote sensing instrumentation for future satellite deployment.

We made measurements of aerosol optical properties and hygroscopicity at the Look Rock site. Beyond traditional direct sampling of the atmosphere, we also deployed a unique reactor to examine how ammonia uptake influences light absorption, hygroscopicity and volatility, and how changes in these properties are connected to particle composition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
