Welcome
to the homepage of the Atmospheric Physics and Composition Modelling
Group. We are part of Atmospheric
Physics in the Department
of Physics at the University
of Toronto.
Our
research uses newly available satellite
measurements of atmospheric trace gases together with global
three-dimensional
modelling of tropospheric chemistry and transport to develop a better
understanding of how
pollution influences the dynamical and chemical state of the lower
atmosphere.
The recent satellite observations are, for the first time, providing a
global
view of the atmospheric distribution of a broad range of
environmentally
important trace gases. We are using these data to better characterize
the
pathways for long-range transport of pollution, to quantify the impact
of this
pollution on the atmospheric environment, and to obtain an improved
understanding of the year-to-year variability of these transport
pathways and
their dependence on the mean state of the climate system.
