Dr. Qing Liang, a research physical scientist in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Dynamics Laboratory also co-leads the NASA GEOS Chemistry Climate Model (GEOSCCM) project will give her talk: “The NASA/NSF ACCLIP Aircraft Mission – understanding the role of Asian Summer Monsoon in troposphere-to-stratosphere transport of dichloromethane and its impact on stratospheric ozone” as part of the […]

Rosenstiel School professor emeritus Elliot Atlas and six other researchers are spending August in South Korea to collect air samples that could unravel what chemical elements the summer Asian monsoon system brings into the atmosphere.

While the Asian monsoon brings rain that is vital for the agricultural economy of the vast region, it is also known to suck up into the upper atmosphere chemical pollutants that accelerate climate change.
