Surface temperatures drive strong seasonality in urban reactive carbon emissions

Urban air quality is affected by diverse volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and prior studies reveal a need to understand their seasonal sources. We combine high-resolution mass spectrometry with eddy...

Airborne eddy covariance measurements of ocean-air VOC fluxes: Distinguishing signal from noise

Abstract. Ocean-atmosphere exchange plays an important but uncertain role for many volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Airborne eddy covariance (EC) enables direct flux quantification over large areas,...

Clouds darkening over NOAA research. We are slated for elimination in next years budget. Astonishing loss to the nation and the world if it happens.

Paul Voosen@voosen.me · last yr.

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

Sometimes you *should* meet your (science) heroes. Stan was a giant of chemical kinetics and just a gem of a person. We will miss him.

CSL is a NOAA lab that has been foundational in atmospheric chemistry & air quality science. They are now losing young scientists that are among the best/brightest of the next generation. This degrades not just CSL but our ability to track pollution & protect health. csl.noaa.gov
