2012 - 2014 Uintah Basin Winter Ozone Studies (UBWOS)

High winter ozone in remote oil and gas producing basins of the western U.S. is a recently discovered issue and one of the impacts of increased oil and gas activities in these regions. The 2012 – 2013 NOAA studies in the Uintah Basin, Utah were designed to understand the causes...

2011 Nitrogen, Aerosol Composition and Halogens on a Tall Tower (NACHTT)

Jan. 14, 2019

Halogen species are extremely important in atmospheric chemistry, serving both as strong oxidants and as catalysts that drive the production and destruction of ozone. Recent field investigations have demonstrated that nitrogen oxides, common pollutants from combustion sources, are efficient at producing these halogens, particularly in the winter and during darkness...
