Abstract:
Urban boundary layer dynamics and composition research is an area of overlapping capability and expertise for the two Cooperative Science Centers (CSCs), NOAA Center for Earth System Sciences and Remote Sensing Technologies (CESSRST) and NOAA
Center for Atmospheric Sciences and Meteorology (NCAS-M). The two Centers have engaged with NOAA NESDIS and NWS, as well as NOAA Research (NOAA/OAR), to design a joint Collaborative Research and Development Project JCRDP with a focus on
interdisciplinary research and training on urban meteorology, air quality, urban ecosystems, and communities. This effort brings together the two Centers’ expertise in analysis, modeling, and observation capabilities to build a framework to study air
pollution causes and impact in the northeast corridor.
