About
I am currently heading up air composition, emissions, and surface-atmospheric exchange research and development projects to support and advance the U.S. National Weather Service’s National Air Quality Forecasting Capability, and next-generation global and regional atmospheric aerosol and composition prediction systems at NWS/NOAA. My research interests include coupled meteorological-chemical model development and application, with a focus on trace gas and aerosol predictions, emissions, atmospheric deposition, and multimedia surface fluxes. I have significant experience in synthesizing multiplatform measurements using novel data analysis techniques and modeling methods.
Current Research
- Lead developer of the Global Forecast System (GFS)-driven NOAA-EPA Atmosphere Chemistry Coupler (NACC) for the Advanced National Air Quality Forecasting Capability (NAQFC) (Codes: https://github.com/noaa-oar-arl/NACC; https://github.com/noaa-oar-arl/NAQFC)
- Research and development on the NOAA Emission and eXchange Unified System (NEXUS) and connections with next-generation regional and global atmospheric aerosol and composition forecast models (Code: https://github.com/noaa-oar-arl/NEXUS)
- Research on emissions, atmospheric deposition and composition, air quality, and air-surface exchange processes, which includes in-canopy processes
- Research on coupled meteorological, photochemical, and chemical transport/air quality modeling

NOAA Upgrades Key Air Quality Prediction Model
NOAA’s Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) has delivered significant updates to the Air Quality Model that NOAA’s National Weather Service uses to deliver air quality forecast guidance. NOAA’s partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issues daily air quality forecast guidance as part of a National Air Quality Forecasting Capability. These forecasts include information such as the levels of ozone (O3), smoke, dust and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the air we breathe.
