Fresh off the press, our group just published a pair of papers in JGR-Atmospheres on coastal urban air quality. We examine a variety of challenges and opportunities in high resolution modeling and remote sensing observations.

In postdoc Bo Wang’s modeling paper, we show how sea breeze frontal dynamics and urban NOx titration effects drive strong heterogeneity in high O3 pollution that is not captured by the current monitoring network: 

In grad student Taylor Adams’ paper, we combine Pandora-derived NO2 column measurements with surface concentrations to constrain the role of boundary layer dynamics and to highlight the value of remote sensing in characterizing sea breeze dynamics:

These recent contributions provide new process-level insight following an earlier climatological analysis we performed with routine monitoring observations that broadly examined the role of sea breezes on air quality in the Boston area.
