This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This collaborative investigation into the forest atmosphere photochemistry will apply a unique set of collaborative approaches, focused on the chemistry occurring in the near-canopy environment. It is now well known that forests emit biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) that impact the physical (e.g. aerosols) and chemical (e.g. ozone) composition of the overlying atmosphere, and that this in turn impacts forest productivity. However, recent measurements of hydrogen oxide (HOx) radicals in forested areas differ significantly from model predictions, bringing into question understanding of the chemistry of BVOCs and their contribution to the chemistry of ozone and secondary aerosol formation. An intensive field campaign at the University of Michigan Biological Station (UMBS) during the summer of 2009 will take advantage of both the PROPHET (Program for Research on Oxidants: PHotochemistry, Emissions and Transport) and the FASET (Forest Accelerated Succession ExperimenT) facilities, experience and human resources. UMBS represents the ideal research community asset to enable pursuit of a better understanding of the complex atmospheric chemistry impacted by BVOCs and, additionally, to observe how that chemistry may change in the context of changing forest composition and climate. A combination of HOx, BVOC, aerosol, and oxidation product measurements will be made using a wide array of sophisticated instrumental techniques, taking advantage of our infrastructure for probing the vertical dimension (towers, a canopy access vehicle, aerosol LIDAR, and an instrumented aircraft). These measurements will then inform a modeling effort aimed at testing current understanding. It is anticipated that 12 graduate students and at least as many undergraduate research assistants will participate in the field campaign. During the study frequent data meetings will be held in which students will present and discuss the scientific implications of preliminary data. There will be many opportunities for atmospheric scientists to interface and collaborate with the entire UMBS community. A science symposium at UMBS that will include the forest ecology and biogeochemistry researchers who have interest in atmosphere-forest interactions will be organized.

该奖项根据 2009 年美国恢复和再投资法案（公法 111-5）提供资金。这项对森林大气光化学的合作调查将采用一套独特的合作方法，重点关注树冠附近环境中发生的化学反应。 现在众所周知，森林排放的生物挥发性有机化合物（BVOC）会影响上层大气的物理（例如气溶胶）和化学（例如臭氧）成分，进而影响森林生产力。 然而，最近对森林地区氧化氢 (HOx) 自由基的测量与模型预测存在显着差异，这使人们对 BVOC 的化学性质及其对臭氧和二次气溶胶形成的化学作用的理解产生了疑问。 2009 年夏天，密歇根大学生物站 (UMBS) 将利用 PROPHET（氧化剂研究计划：光化学、排放和运输）和 FASET（森林加速演替实验）设施开展密集的实地活动，经验和人力资源。 UMBS 代表了理想的研究界资产，可以更好地了解受 BVOC 影响的复杂大气化学，此外还可以观察化学在森林组成和气候变化的背景下如何变化。 HOx、BVOC、气溶胶和氧化产物测量的组合将使用各种复杂的仪器技术进行，利用我们探测垂直尺寸的基础设施（塔、座舱盖进入车辆、气溶胶激光雷达和仪表飞机） ）。 然后，这些测量结果将为旨在测试当前理解的建模工作提供信息。 预计 12 名研究生和至少同样数量的本科生研究助理将参加该实地活动。 在研究期间，将频繁举行数据会议，学生将在会上展示并讨论初步数据的科学意义。 大气科学家将有很多机会与整个 UMBS 社区进行交流和合作。 将在马里兰大学商学院组织一次科学研讨会，其中包括对大气与森林相互作用感兴趣的森林生态学和生物地球化学研究人员。
