My academic background is in Atmospheric Science with an emphasis on large scale atmospheric transport, and regional air pollution meteorology and atmospheric chemistry. My current research continues to be a mixture of chemical and dynamical interests. Recent papers address the influence of changes in large-scale atmospheric motion on: (1) tropospheric ozone over the North Atlantic Ocean, and on (2) precipitation composition in regions removed from the influence of localized sources. Present funding from the National Science Foundation and NOAA Climate and Global Change supports my role as a project meteorologist for the Air Ocean Chemistry Experiment (AEROCE) and North Atlantic Region Experiment (NARE) both programs studying the chemical climate of the North Atlantic Ocean atmosphere. This work spans several time scales from characterizing the natural year to year variations in large-scale atmospheric motion, to characterizing the influence of boundary-layer processes and their interaction with the large-scale flow. In addition to modeling work I have begun a measurement program with ozonesondes. I am also involved in meteorological work on forest/atmosphere interactions through projects with Harvard Forest and the University of Michigan Biological Station.
