Atmospheric Trace Gases and Aerosols: New Measurement Techniques, Field Studies and Laboratory Measurements
Earth System Research Laboratories, Chemical Sciences Laboratory
The Tropospheric Chemistry program of the Chemical Sciences Division (CSD) of the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) conducts research into the composition of the lower atmosphere with the goal of understanding emissions and chemical processes relevant to air quality and climate. This research includes the development, characterization and improvement of analytical instrumentation for measurement of trace gases and aerosols. It also includes the use of these instruments to understand relevant chemical processes in a laboratory environment, and the deployment of these instruments as part of field studies. Finally, it includes analysis of data from recent field studies, including the use of chemical process and dispersion models. NRC Associates may be involved in any of the above activities.
Experience Supplement: Postdoctoral and Senior Associates will receive an appropriately higher stipend based on the number of years of experience past their PhD.
