Atmospheric ammonia and particulate inorganic nitrogen over the United States by Heald, Colette L., Collett, J. L., Jr., Lee, T., Benedict, K. B., Schwandner, F. M., Li, Y., Clarisse, L., Hurtmans, D. R., Damme, M. Van, Clerbaux, C., Coheur, P. -F., Philip, S., Martin, R. V., Pye, H. O. T.

“…However in the remaining continental United States we find that the nitrate simulation is biased high (normalized mean bias > = 1.0) year-round, except in Spring (due to the underestimate in ammonia in this season). …”

Interannual variability of ammonia concentrations over the United States: sources and implications by Van Damme, Martin, Clarisse, Lieven, Clerbaux, Cathy, Coheur, Pierre-François, Nowak, John B., Neuman, J. Andrew, Herndon, Scott C., Roscioli, Joseph R., Eilerman, Scott J., Schiferl, Luke Daniel, Heald, Colette L.

“…The variability of atmospheric ammonia (NH[subscript3]), emitted largely from agricultural sources, is an important factor when considering how inorganic fine particulate matter (PM[subscript 2.5]) concentrations and nitrogen cycling are changing over the United States. This study combines new observations of ammonia concentration from the surface, aboard aircraft, and retrieved by satellite to both evaluate the simulation of ammonia in a chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) and identify which processes control the variability of these concentrations over a 5-year period (2008–2012). …”

Future Fire Impacts on Smoke Concentrations, Visibility, and Health in the Contiguous United States by Ford, Bonne, Val Martin, Maria, Zelasky, Sarah, Fischer, Emily, Anenberg, Susan, Heald, Colette L., Pierce, Jeffrey

“…We find that PM2.5 concentrations will decrease overall in the contiguous United States (CONUS) due to decreasing anthropogenic emissions (total PM2.5 decreases by 3% in Representative Concentration Pathway [RCP] 8.5 and 34% in RCP4.5 by 2100), but increasing fire-related PM2.5 (fire-related PM2.5 increases by 55% in RCP4.5 and 190% in RCP8.5 by 2100) offsets these benefits and causes increases in total PM2.5 in some regions. …”

Partitioning evapotranspiration over the continental United States using weather station data by Rigden, Angela J., Salvucci, Guido D., Entekhabi, Dara, Gianotti, Daniel J

“…We apply the methodology at 1,614 weather stations across the continental United States during the summers of 2015 and 2016. We evaluate the method using vegetation indices inferred from satellites, finding strong spatial correlations between modeled transpiration and solar-induced fluorescence (r2 = 0.87), and modeled vegetation fraction and leaf area index (r2 = 0.70). …”

Investigating Carbonaceous Aerosol and Its Absorption Properties From Fires in the Western United States (WE‐CAN) and Southern Africa (ORACLES and CLARIFY) by Carter, Therese S, Heald, Colette L, Cappa, Christopher D, Kroll, Jesse H, Campos, Teresa L, Coe, Hugh, Cotterell, Michael I, Davies, Nicholas W, Farmer, Delphine K, Fox, Cathyrn, Garofalo, Lauren A, Hu, Lu, Langridge, Justin M, Levin, Ezra JT, Murphy, Shane M, Pokhrel, Rudra P, Shen, Yingjie, Szpek, Kate, Taylor, Jonathan W, Wu, Huihui

“…Our comparisons suggest that BC and/or BrC absorption is substantially higher downwind of Africa than in the western United States and, while the Saleh et al. (2014, https://doi.org/10.1038/ngeo2220) and FIREX parameterizations based on the BC:OA ratio improve model-observation agreement in some regions, they do not sufficiently differentiate absorption characteristics at short wavelengths. …”

“…We use a global coupled chemistry–climate–land model (CESM) to assess the integrated effect of climate, emissions and land use changes on annual surface O[subscript 3] and PM[subscript 2.5] in the United States with a focus on national parks (NPs) and wilderness areas, using the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 projections. …”

Forecasting long-term gas production from shale by Cueto-Felgueroso, Luis, Juanes, Ruben

“…Oil and natural gas from deep shale formations are transforming the United States economy and its energy outlook. Back in 2005, the US Energy Information Administration published projections of United States natural gas supply that stressed the need to develop an import infrastructure (1): by 2025, imports would account for almost one-third of United States consumption. …”
