Modeling Research

Computer kinetics modeling is applied in several ways in this project. 

• First, it is a critical component of the quantitative analysis of experimental data from the aerosol chamber. 

• Second, it is used in a state-of-the-art airshed model to integrate the insights gained from the experiments and theory to assess the atmospheric implications of chemistry at interfaces on local to regional scales. 

The schematic below illustrates the model dimensions when applied to Southern California, and the typical numbers of species involved in the calculations.
