The general goal of the research is to investigate the sensitivity of reactive halogen abundance to glacial-interglacial climate change in a global model and examine its implications for ice core proxies. The research specifically focuses on three research questions: 1) Can blowing snow on sea ice explain the increase in Sodium ions observed in Greenland and Antarctic ice cores on the glacial-interglacial timescale; 2) What are the biggest drivers for changes in the abundance of reactive halogens over the glacial-interglacial timescale; and 3) What are the potential implications for the oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere and short-lived climate forcing agents Methane, Tropospheric Ozone, and Aerosols.This project will help improve the understanding of reactive halogens over a major climate transition and examine the implications of their role in climate feedbacks via their influence on the oxidation capacity of the atmosphere. The atmospheric abundance of Methane, Ozone, and Aerosols may have significant impacts on the Earth’s climate system over a variety of timescales through their direct and indirect radiative forcing, as well as impacts on biogeochemical cycling due to their influence on the biosphere. The project also provides support for graduate and undergraduate students.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.

该研究的总体目标是在全球模型中调查活性卤素丰度对冰期-间冰期气候变化的敏感性，并研究其对冰芯代理的影响。该研究特别关注三个研究问题：1）能否在海上吹雪。冰解释了在冰期-间冰期时间尺度上格陵兰岛和南极冰芯中观察到的钠离子的增加 2) 活性卤素丰度变化的最大驱动因素是什么；冰期-间冰期时间尺度；以及 3) 对大气氧化能力和短期气候强迫因子甲烷、对流层臭氧和气溶胶的潜在影响是什么。该项目将有助于提高对重大气候转变过程中活性卤素的了解并通过对大气氧化能力的影响来研究它们在气候反馈中的作用。大气中甲烷、臭氧和气溶胶的丰度可能对大气产生重大影响。该项目还为研究生和本科生提供支持。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并具有各种时间尺度上的直接和间接辐射强迫以及对生物地球化学循环的影响。通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
