项目摘要

This project includes laboratory experiments and field measurements to help build a quantitative understanding of influence of salts and pH on the partitioning of atmospheric organics between the aerosol and gas phase. The goal of the project is to develop parameterizations suitable for implementation in atmospheric models to improve the prediction of the atmospheric particulate matter burden, and subsequent impacts related to air quality, direct and indirect radiative forcing and the deposition of reactive carbon. The proposed research will address the following questions: (1) How does partitioning of atmospheric organic gases change as a function of salt composition, concentration and droplet pH in different environments? and (2) How do changes in gas-to-water partitioning alter the budget and lifetime of reactive carbon compounds in the atmosphere? This effort will advance the understanding of fundamental chemistry through the deployment of mist chambers to humid and arid regions of the U.S. to systematically study inorganic salt influences on the partitioning of ambient water-soluble organic gases in contrasting environments. The project incorporates a creative method for communicating scientific findings through the participation of art students, who will design insightful content about air quality and climate change for those outside the scientific community.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目包括实验室实验和现场测量，以帮助建立对盐和pH对气溶胶和气相之间大气有机物分配的影响的定量理解。该项目的目的是开发适合在大气模型中实施的参数化，以改善大气颗粒物负担的预测，以及随后与空气质量，直接和间接辐射强迫和反应性碳沉积有关的影响。拟议的研究将解决以下问题：（1）在不同环境中，大气有机气体的分配如何随盐成分，浓度和液滴pH的函数而变化？（2）天然气对水分配的变化如何改变大气中反应性碳化合物的预算和寿命？这项努力将通过将雾室的部署到美国的潮湿和干旱地区的潮湿和干旱地区来提高对基本化学的理解，以系统地研究无机盐对在对比环境中环境水溶性有机气体分配的影响。该项目结合了一种创造性的方法，可以通过艺术学生的参与来传达科学发现，他们将为科学界以外的人设计有关空气质量和气候变化的见解内容。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来支持的。
