Description
This fellowship opportunity is offered by the Tropospheric Chemistry program within the Chemical Sciences Division (CSD) of NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL). The program focuses on research into the composition of the lower atmosphere, aiming to understand emissions and chemical processes that affect air quality and climate.
Research activities supported include:
- Development, characterization, and improvement of analytical instruments for measuring trace gases and aerosols.
- Laboratory studies using these instruments to investigate relevant chemical processes.
- Deployment of instruments in field studies to collect atmospheric data.
- Analysis of data from recent field campaigns, including the use of chemical process and dispersion models.
NRC Research Associates may engage in any or all of these activities, contributing to advancing atmospheric science through innovative measurement techniques and data analysis.
