Research Profile

Coupling between atmospheric composition and meteorological processes in the boundary layer

Meteorological processes reshape the accumulation, transport, and chemical transformation of atmospheric constituents. In turn, aerosol composition and physicochemical properties can influence hygroscopic growth and activation, contributing to fog processes and visibility. My research examines these interactions in the atmospheric boundary layer.

Within this coupling, atmospheric oxidative capacity provides a key connection between changing meteorological conditions and the chemical response of atmospheric composition. I investigate meteorological influences on atmospheric oxidation and co-pollution, as well as the effects of marine aerosol chemistry on fog processes and visibility.

Effects of marine aerosol chemistry on fog processes and visibility

How the chemical composition and physicochemical properties of marine aerosols participate in fog microphysics and visibility changes, and how these effects can be represented in models and prediction.
