Ocean Acidification Program (DOC)

Areas: NSF said core areas of research include the chemical, physical and dynamical processes in the atmosphere that impact clouds, weather, climate, air quality and the water cycle.Research methods include modeling, collecting observations, conducting experiments in the laboratory and field, and advancing analytical measurement techniques.General research topics include but are not limited to chemical processes and mechanisms that explain how atmospheric gases and aerosols form, react, transform and interact with the surrounding environment; and processes and dynamics that govern climate and hydroclimate, including their mean state, variability, response to external forcing and their role in the establishment of a global energy and water balance, among many others.
