A project supported by CPO’s Modeling, Analysis, Prediction, and Projections (MAPP) and Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) programs has had new research published in Nature. The paper, “Agricultural Green Revolution as a driver of increasing atmospheric CO2 seasonal amplitude,” was published in the journal’s Nov. 19, 2014 issue.
Chemicals released into the air by oil and gas exploration, extraction and related activities can spark reactions that lead to high levels of ozone in wintertime, high enough to exceed federal health standards, according to new NOAA-led research, published online Nature. CPO’s AC-4 program supported this research.

A new paper: “Modeling regional aerosol variability over California and its sensitivity to emissions and long-range transport during the 2010 CalNex and CARES campaigns,” has been published in the Journal for Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. CalNex (the California Nexus, Research at the Nexus of Air Quality and Climate Change) is a 2010 field program funded by state of California and the Climate Program Office’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, & Climate (AC4) program.
New research titled: “Observational evidence for interhemispheric hydorxyl parity,” appeared in the Sept. 11 issue of Nature. The research, which is about the abundance of the hydroxyl radical on hemispheric scales, is partially funded by CPO’s AC-4 program.

CarbonTracker methane, an off-shoot of NOAA’s highly successful CarbonTracker, which was partially funded by CPO’s AC4 program, has earned peer-reviewed status with a recent paper in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.
During two days of intensive airborne measurements, oil and gas operations in Colorado’s Front Range leaked nearly three times as much methane, a greenhouse gas, as predicted based on inventory estimates, and seven times as much benzene, a regulated air toxic.

Research funded by CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) program was published in Nature Geosciences. The article assesses the relationship between the organic carbon content of sea water and freshly emitted sea spray aerosol in the North Atlantic as well as the coastal waters of California.
The U. S. Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released their FY2014 SBIR with an opening date of Nov. 13, 2013 and a closing date of Jan. 29, 2014.
