Spatially interpolated PM2.5 concentrations for the US from 2006-2015
This dataset contains spatially interpolated daily PM2.5 concentrations observed by monitors in the Environmental Protection Agency's Air Quality System and non-smoke seasonal background PM2.5 estimates for 2006-2015. See ... -
Dataset associated with "Role Modeling is a Viable Retention Strategy for Undergraduate Women in the Geosciences"
Gender diversity leads to better science; however, a number of STEM disciplines, including many geoscience sub-disciplines show a persistent gender gap. PROmoting Geoscience Research, Education, and SuccesS (PROGRESS) is ... -
Supporting data for the manuscript "Modeling the formation and composition of secondary organic aerosol from diesel exhaust using parameterized and semi-explicit chemistry and thermodynamic models"
Laboratory-based studies have shown that combustion sources emit volatile organic compounds that can be photo-oxidized in the atmosphere to form secondary organic aerosol (SOA). In some cases, this SOA can exceed direct ... -
Dataset associated with "Observations of ice nucleating particles over Southern Ocean waters"
Aerosol number, surface area, black carbon mass concentrations, Radon-222 concentrations, and Immersion-mode ice nucleating particle (INP) number concentrations were monitored onboard the RV Investigator (voyage IN2016_V02), ... -
Dataset associated with "Polyhedral Optimizations of RNA-RNA Interaction Computations"
Studying RNA-RNA interaction has led to major successes in the treatment of some cancers, including colon, breast and pancreatic cancer by suppressing the gene expression involved in the development of these diseases. ... -
Model data associated with manuscript, "Source regions contributing to excess reactive nitrogen deposition in the Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) of the United States"
Research has shown that excess reactive nitrogen (Nr) deposition in the Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) of the United States has passed critical load (CL) thresholds and is adversely affecting sensitive ecosystems in this ... -
Dataset associated with "Temporal Variability Largely Explains Difference in Top-down and Bottom-up Estimates of Methane Emissions from a Natural Gas Production Region"
This study is the first to spatially and temporally align top-down and bottom-up methane emission estimates for a natural gas production basin, using multi-scale emission measurements and detailed activity data reporting. ... -
Model code for "Constraining nucleation, condensation, and chemistry in oxidation flow reactors using size-distribution measurements and aerosol microphysical modelling"
Oxidation flow reactors (OFRs) allow the concentration of a given atmospheric oxidant to be increased beyond ambient levels in order to study secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation and aging over varying periods of ... -
Dataset for "Outperforming Yet Undervalued: Undergraduate Women in STEM"
Gender diversity is critically needed in many science fields, but women continue to encounter beliefs that they lack ability and talent. Undergraduate education is a critical time when peer influence may alter choice of ... -
Material associated with the manuscript "Development and implementation of a new biomass burning emissions injection height scheme for the GEOS-Chem model"
Biomass burning is a significant source of trace gases and aerosols to the atmosphere, and the evolution of these species depends acutely on where they are injected into the atmosphere. GEOS-Chem is a chemical transport ... -
Precipitationshed data for the moisture recycling analysis within the article ‘On the social dynamics of moisture recycling’
The biophysical phenomenon of terrestrial moisture recycling connects distant regions via the atmospheric branch of the water cycle. This process, whereby the land surface mediates evaporation to the at- mosphere and the ... -
Supporting data for the manuscript “Use of the Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2) as a pre-filter for ice nucleation measurements: effect of particle mixing state and determination of SP2 conditions to fully vaporize refractory black carbon”
Ice nucleation is a fundamental atmospheric process that impacts precipitation, cloud lifetimes, and climate. Challenges remain to identify and quantify the compositions and sources of ice-nucleating particles (INPs). ... -
Dataset for Geomorphology and Climate Interact to Control Organic Carbon Stock and Age in Mountain River Valley Bottoms
Organic carbon (OC) stored in dead vegetation and soil represents a massive and relatively sensitive pool of carbon whose distribution and residence time affects global climate. Mountain river basins can store large OC ... -
Dataset for Geomorphic regulation of floodplain soil organic carbon concentration in watersheds of the Rocky and Cascade Mountains, USA
Mountain rivers have shown the potential for high organic carbon (OC) storage in terms of retaining OC-rich soil. We characterize valley bottom morphology, floodplain soil, and vegetation in two disparate mountain river ... -
Atmospheric implications of large light alkane emissions from the U.S. oil and gas industry
Emissions of non-methane light alkanes from the U.S. oil and gas sector have changed rapidly over the last decade. We use a nested GEOS-Chem simulation driven by updated atmospheric abundances of light alkanes over the ... -
Supporting data for the manuscript, "Agricultural harvesting emissions of ice nucleating particles"
Ice nucleating particle (INP) concentrations were measured with the Colorado State University Continuous Flow Diffusion Chamber (CFDC) and the Ice Spectrometer (IS) during the harvesting of various crops in Kansas and ... -
Allostery in the dengue virus NS3 helicase: Insights into the NTPase cycle from molecular simulations.
The C-terminus domain of non-structural 3 (NS3) protein of the Flaviviridae viruses (e.g. HCV, dengue, West Nile, Zika) is a nucleotide triphosphatase (NTPase) -dependent superfamily 2 (SF2) helicase that unwinds double-stranded ... -
RAMS model simulation output for "Cold Pool - Land Surface Interactions in a Dry Continental Environment"
These data represent model output from simulations using the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS). These data accompany the manuscript: Grant, L. D., & van den Heever, S. C. (2018): Cold pool - land surface ...
