asia-aq (Jan to march 2024)

Participants: Katherine Paredero, Jared Novelly, Alvin La, Yoel Ghebrecristos, Cyril Mccormick and Saewung Kim

We participated in the Airborne and Satellite Investigation of Air Quality (ASIA-AQ) campaign, an international collaboration between NASA, NIER, DENR, UKM, GISTDA and MOENV. A Time-of-Flight Chemical Ionization Mass Spectometer (TOF-CIMS) was deployed NASA’s airborne laboratory - the DC-8 - and operated by our team. This system was used to collect data on a variety of copounds, including SO2, HONO and HO2NO2, over The Philippines, South Korea, Thailand and Taiwan.

nyc-mets (July To aug 2023)

Participants: Julie Devlin, Katherine Paredero, Sanjeevi Nagalingam and Saewung Kim

We investigated missing OH reactivity using the comparative reactivity method at rooftop sites based in NYC and Guilford, Connecticut.

Korean Airborne Flux measurement study (April 2019-Present)

Participants: Gracie Wong, Chinmoy Sarkar, Anne Mielnik, Daun Jeong and Saewung Kim

We quantified trace gas emissions from industrial facilities in South Korea in a 3-year aircraft research campaign to better understand anthropogenic air pollution. We deployed a CIMS-QMS and PTR-MS onboard a research aircraft at HanSeo University.

GOAmazon (Jan 2014 to Oct 2014)

Participants: Roger Seco and Saewung Kim

We deployed an OH/HO2+RO2/H2SO4 CIMS and PTR-ToF-MS to the Brazilian Amazon research site (T2) for the US-Brazil collaborative field campaign GoAmazon. The campaign consisted of two intensive phases to characterize biosphere-pollution interactions from radical chemistry to regional climate change. The project is sponsored by DOE for three year including field observations and data analysis

SOAS (Jun 2013 to Jul 2013)

Participants: Ian Wrangham, Roger Seco, and Saewung Kim
