  Understanding Air Quality
The research provides environmental policy makers and resource managers better information on (1) the most important processes and sources contributing to poor air quality, (2) the impacts of poor air quality, and (3) potential solutions, including the development of tools to support effective decision-making.
Laboratory investigations are employed to characterize and quantify fundamental properties of chemical reactions, which are needed by predictive models and point the way to specific field study approaches.

For example, when the pressure is low in the South Pacific high pressure cell and high over Indonesia and Australia, the Pacific trade winds weaken, upwelling of cool water on the Pacific equator and along the Peruvian coast weakens or stops, and SSTs increase in these areas where the upwelling weakens....
In El Niño years, when the rain area that is usually centered over Indonesia and the far western Pacific moves eastward into the central Pacific, as shown on p 17, the waves in the flow aloft are affected, causing unseasonable weather over many regions of the globe....
The Southern Oscillation is the see-saw pattern of reversing surface air pressure between the eastern and western tropical Pacific; when the surface pressure is high in the eastern tropical Pacific it is low in the western tropical Pacific, and vice-versa....
