Meeting news:
Steve Arnold and Dominick Spracklen attended the 4th PEEX Workshop in St.
Petersburg, Russia, and announced funding of the Leeds-led NERC-funded BORNET-Eurasia project.

Grant news: The Natural Environment
Research Council have announced funding for our new project aimed at building capability for improving
understanding of land-atmosphere-climate interactions in the boreal high
latitudes. The BORNET-Eurasia project will build capacity for a new joint
research programme between European and Russian scientists, focussed on
probing natural and man-made influences on short-lived climate pollutants over
the Eurasian Arctic and boreal forest, and will evaluate current models of
atmospheric composition and climate in this region.

Grant News: A novel 3-year project on using tree ring O-isotope data
and numerical models to
investigate long-term changes in the Amazon water cycle has been funded by the
Natural Environment Research Council. The
project is led by Prof. Manuel Gloor
in the School of Geography. Our
group are involved in the modelling aspects
of the project, including using our expertise in Lagrangian modelling to
investigate changes in atmospheric transport and water cycling in the Amazon
region over recent decades.
Apr 2013
Grant News: The Natural Environment
Research Council have announced that
our project on "Earth System Modelling metrics for atmospheric composition"
has been funded. The project is a 2-year collaboration between Dr. Dominick
Spracklen and Dr. Steve Arnold at the University of Leeds and Prof. Mat
Evans at the University of York, and will fund 2 PDRAs.
The project is one of several funded by
NERC specifically to use observations to evaluate different components of
Earth System models.

New Paper: Our study using satellite observations and a model to
investigate the source sensitivities and radiative effects of
Mediterranean summertime ozone has been published in Atmospheric Chemistry and
Physics. View the paper

Dec 2012
Grant News: The Natural Environment
Research Council have announced that our project
ORC3
(Oceanic Reactive Carbon: Chemistry-Climate impacts) has been funded. The
project aims to better understand oceanic emissions of reactive organic
compounds and
how they modify marine aerosol and the atmosphere's oxidative capacity. The
3-year project will start later this year, and is led by Dr. Steve
Arnold at Leeds in collaboration with the University of York. It will invovle
two field campaigns at the NCAS Cape Verde
observatory and global modelling work at Leeds.
