Automated flask sampling developed at NOAA/ESRL has allowed for the characterization of atmospheric amounts of ozone-depleting gases, climate-active gases, and hazardous air pollutants in 4 dimensions across the U.S. (latitude, longitude, altitude, and time). We are looking for students to become involved in the collection and analysis of samples and data as part of this program. Work would involve instrumental development, operation, and maintenance; sample collection and analysis; and data reduction and evaluation to understand trends and distributions of these gases in light of environmental and climate issues. Goals of the program include understanding the observed variability, in particular, estimating emission rates of these gases from different regions of the U.S. (including the Colorado Front Range).
