TEMPO Science Team Meeting
This week is the annual TEMPO Science Team meeting. TEMPO is a geostationary satellite instrument that will be dedicated to monitoring tropospheric pollution over North America, anticipated to launch in early 2023.
Research from our group is being highlighted by postdoc Bo Wang ("High Resolution Modeling of NO2 and O3 in Greater Boston on Sea Breeze and Non-Sea Breeze Days") and collaborator Elena Spinei Lind ("From Street Level to Total Column: Mapping Urban Pollution Using Ground-Based DOAS Measurements").
Pandora Deployment in Salt Lake City
Pandora 139 and 154 are on the move! Graduate student Taylor Adams is in the Salt Lake City region this week to help deploy the Pandoras as part of a NOAA-funded project on urban air quality and greenhouse gas emissions. Pandora 154 is being deployed on the roof of the William Browning Building at the University of Utah (pictured above), and Pandora 139 will be hosted at the Daybreak, South Jordan air monitoring station.
See the map below for the deployment locations.
Pardee Center Faculty Research Fellows
Jeff was recently selected as a 2022 Faculty Research Fellow with the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future. Seed funding from the Center will help support our group's interdisciplinary research on the role of climate- and land use-driven perturbations to atmospheric nitrogen cycling. More about this announcement can be found here.

University of Wyoming Seminar
This week, Jeff is presenting at the University of Wyoming's Atmospheric Science Seminar Series. The title of his talk is "Examining the impacts of biosphere-atmosphere-chemistry interactions over decadal timescales".
National Atmospheric Deposition Program Symposium
Jeff has been invited to speak at this week's Fall Science Symposium of the National Atmospheric Deposition Program. He will be discussing the work of the WMO Measurement Model Fusion for Global Total Atmospheric Deposition Initiative, for which he is a steering committee member.
Telluride Science Research Center Workshop
This week, Jeff is participating in a Telluride Science Research Center workshop called Mapping Urban Air: Linking Observations and Processes. Jeff will be presenting the group's work on ground-based remote sensing of urban air quality in Boston. The title of his talk is: Ground- and Satellite-Based Remote Sensing of a Coastal Urban Environment.
CESM Workshop
This week, graduate student Anthony Wong is presenting at the annual Community Earth System Model (CESM) Workshop. Anthony is presenting in the Whole Atmosphere and Chemistry-Climate Working Group Meeting. The title of his presentation is: "Impact of global climate and land use change on soil reactive nitrogen emissions - implication on air quality".
You can watch a recording of his presentation available on the CESM YouTube channel here.
TEMPO Science Team Meeting
This week Jeff is participating in the annual TEMPO Science Team Meeting. TEMPO is a geostationary satellite instrument dedicated to monitoring tropospheric emissions and pollutants over North America, scheduled to launch in 2022. Jeff is involved in algorithm development for TEMPO, and is interested in how ground-based observations can be used to evaluate the satellite-derived products of air quality. Jeff presented an update on the group's Pandora network, "Two Years of Pandora Observations in Boston: Lessons learned with a view towards geostationary satellite validation".
