Data Associated with, "Methane Emissions from Gathering and Boosting Compressor Stations in the U.S. Supporting Volume 2: Compressor Engine Exhaust Measurements
The in-stack tracer method was used during the field campaign to measure unburned methane entrained in the exhaust of natural gas compressor engines (“combustion slip”). Combustion slip was estimated by injecting a tracer ... -
Data Associated with "Methane Emissions from Gathering and Boosting Compressor Stations in the U.S. Supporting Volume 1: Multi-Day Measurements of Pneumatic Controller Emissions"
This study was part of a larger study (the Gathering Emission Factor, or “GEF”) study [1] to develop activity and methane emission factors for EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory (EPA GHGI) using direct emission measurements ... -
Data associated with "Simulating secondary organic aerosol in a regional air quality model using the statistical oxidation model – Part 3: Assessing the influence of semi-volatile and intermediate-volatility organic compounds and NOx"
Semi-volatile and intermediate-volatility organic compounds (SVOCs and IVOCs) from anthropogenic sources are likely to be important precursors of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in urban airsheds, yet their treatment in ... -
Dataset associated with "Effects of fuel moisture content on emissions from a rocket-elbow cookstove"
Exposure to air pollution from solid-fuel cookstoves is a leading risk factor for premature death; however, the effect of fuel moisture content on air pollutant emissions from solid-fuel cookstoves remains poorly constrained. ... -
Model output associated with "Sensitivity of Convective Self-Aggregation to Domain Size"
A 3D cloud-resolving model has been used to investigate the domain-size-dependence of simulations of convective self-aggregation (CSA) in radiative--convective equilibrium. We investigate how large a domain is needed to ... -
Simulated cattle shipment networks from the U.S. Animal Movement Model
Networks are rarely completely observed and prediction of unobserved edges is an important problem, especially in disease spread modeling where networks are used to represent the pattern of contacts. We focus on a partially ... -
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 "A Laboratory Assessment of 120 Air Pollutant Emissions from Biomass and Fossil Fuel Cookstoves
Cookstoves emit many pollutants that are harmful to human health and the environment. However, most of the existing scientific literature focuses on fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and carbon monoxide (CO). We present an ... -
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). ...
