U.S. Methane “Hotspot” is Snapshot of Local Pollution

Supported in part by CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) Program, scientists from two University of Colorado institutes and NOAA participated in an intensive field campaign that used instrumented aircraft and vans to investigate the causes or sources of a methane hotspot in the U.S. Southwest.

Long-Term Field Observations Lead to New Insights in the Formation of Organic Aerosols

Research funded by two AC4 awards used observations from three long-term networks to update or “constrain” the chemical transport model mechanisms to more accurately represent the indirect formation and month-to-month variability of organic aerosol in the US southeast.

Reducing Temperature Biases in Tropical Ocean Models

This work, funded by CPO’s Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) program as part of NOAA’s contributions to the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS) process studies, demonstrates how increasing the vertical resolution of ocean models can reduce commonly observed biases in the two regions.
