The Tropospheric Oxidation Capacity Research Group

We are exploring interactions between biosphere-atmosphere-human, specifically, how the interactions affect on the oxidation capacity of the troposphere that controls fates of trace gases and secondary photochemical product (e.g ozone and secondary aerosols) productions. Our research tools are mainly in-situ measurement instrumentation to precisely quantify very reactive radical species in the troposphere and we deploy the instrumentation to the environmentally critical locations.
