Atmospheric Chemistry Carbon Cycle and Climate

The group is made up of 10 research teams that started projects in FY18 with a focus on the interaction of biogenic volatile organic compounds and reactive nitrogen.

Supported by NOAA’s AC4 Program, on July 24th the FIREX-AQ summer 2019 field campaign launched its first flight out of Boise, Idaho to study the impact of wildfires and prescribed burns on air quality and climate.

NOAA Research's Climate Program Office is pleased to announce that its Fiscal Year 2020 grant competitions are now open. 

This research was supported, in part, by the Climate Program Office's AC4 program.  

A recent article supported by AC4 entitled "Enhanced North American carbon uptake associated with El Niño" was published June 5, 2019, in Science Advances. The study found that long-term atmospheric CO2 observations over North America document a persistent response to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation.
