Extractions: His research group is currently studying the composition of the earth's atmosphere in (a)remote locations throughout the Pacific region from Alaska to New Zealand:(b)highly polluted cities throughout the world; and (c) areas with special conditions, such as burning forests and/or agricultural wastes, or the marine boundary layer in oceanic locations with high biological emissions. Whole air samples are collected on land, ships, and aircraft and are returned to our laboratory for analysis. Gas chromatography utilizing flame ionization detection, electron capture detection, and mass spectrometry is our main analytical tool. A three gaschromatograph analytical system is used to quantify about 150 halocarbons, nonmethane hydrocarbons, and alkyl nitrates ranging in mole fraction from about 2 parts per billion to 20 parts per quadrillion. In an attempt to determine "background" concentrations of selected trace gases, since 1978 they have been collecting air samples at surface locatins every three months in Pacific regions from northern Alaska to southern New Zealand. Results from this "background" study recently led to our discovery that methyl bromide, a gas that significantly affects stratospheric ozone concentrations, has a tropospheric seasonal cycle. This finding provides an important constraint on hemispheric and seasonal methyl bromide sources and removal processes.

Extractions: Bibliographic Code: Abstract Cl . The same air masses also exhibited large ozone enhancements, with 2 to 3 times higher mixing ratios in the continental boundary layer air compared to the clean MBL. This indicates a primarily anthropogenic photochemical source for a significant fraction of the lower tropospheric ozone in this region. Methyl bromide exhibited on average 10-20% higher concentrations in the boundary layer affected by continental outflow than in the clean MBL, and was seen to be enhanced in individual plumes of air of continental origin. This is consistent with significant anthropogenic sources for methyl bromide. In addition, median MBL concentrations of ethene and methyl iodide showed enhancements of approximately a factor of 2 above free tropospheric values, suggesting primarily coastal/oceanic sources for these species.

Extractions: Bibliographic Code: Abstract Two independent lines of evidence suggest that the hydrogen sulfides (H S, SH , S ) are present in open surface seawater at pico to nanomolar levels. 1) Such concentrations are calculated for a chemical steady state involving carbonyl sulfide hydrolysis as source, followed by oxidative removal. 2) Although it is not yet certain that measurements of gaseous H S over the open ocean are reliable, they require aqueous sulfide concentrations in this range in order to support sea-to-air flux. If pico to nanomolar of the hydrogen sulfides are included in standard equilibrium models of seawater complexation chemistry, several trace metals speciate predominantly as sulfide complexes and are supersaturated with repect to their solid sulfides. This supersaturation argues for solubilization of the metals through other unexpected complexes, perhaps involving reduced sulfur ligands associated with dissolved organics, or even intermediates along the hydrogen sulfide oxidation chain.

In its standard state, ozone is pale blue, highly poisonous gas with a strong odor. It is much more active chemically than ordinary oxygen and is a better oxidizing agent. It is used in purifying water, sterilizing air, and bleaching certain foods. In the lower atmosphere atmosphere, ozone is formed from nitrogen oxides and organic gases emitted by automobiles and industrial sources. In the stratosphere, ozone is formed when a molecule of oxygen absorbs a photon of light with wavelengths shorter than 200nm, is split into atomic oxygen and the atomic oxygen reacts withan oxygen molecule to form ozone.
