Chemistry & Climate Processes: Modeling & Assessments
The Chemistry & Climate Processes group explores aspects of atmospheric chemistry, dynamics, and climate using a hierarchy of computer models ranging from quasi-1D models all the way up to global chemistry-climate models. Group members both use and contribute to the development of an assortment of community models through validation and module development activities. The Chemistry & Climate Processes group has also developed and continues to maintain models in-house for addressing stratospheric chemistry, dynamics, and radiation.
