Modeling stratospheric intrusion and trans-Pacific transport on tropospheric ozone using hemispheric CMAQ during April 2010 – Part 2: Examination of emission impacts based on the higher-order decoupled direct method [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 The state-of-the-science Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system, which has recently been extended for hemispheric-scale modeling applications (referred to as H-CMAQ), is applied to study the trans-Pacific transport, a phenomenon ...

A simple lightning assimilation technique for improving retrospective WRF simulations
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2016 Convective rainfall is often a large source of error in retrospective modeling applications. In particular, positive rainfall biases commonly exist during summer months due to overactive convective parameterizations. In this study, lightning assimilation

Assessment of the effect of air pollution controls on trends in shortwave radiation over the United States from 1995 through 2010 from multiple observation networks [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014 Long-term data sets of all-sky and clear-sky downwelling shortwave (SW) radiation, cloud cover fraction, and aerosol optical depth (AOD) were analyzed together with surface concentrations from several networks (e.g., Surface Radiation Budget Network ...

Multiple exposure distributed lag models with variable selection [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Distributed lag models are useful in environmental epidemiology as they allow the user to investigate critical windows of exposure, defined as the time period during which exposure to a pollutant adversely affects health outcomes. Recent studies have focused on estimating the health effects of a large number of environmental exposures, or an ...

Beyond Residence: A Mobility-based Approach for Improved Evaluation of Human Exposure to Environmental Hazards [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Evaluating human exposure to environmental hazards is crucial for identifying susceptible communities and devising targeted health policies. Standard environmental hazard exposure assessment methods have been primarily based on place of residence, an approach which neglect individuals hazard exposures due to the daily life activities and mobility ...

Estimating Heterogeneous Exposure Effects in the Case-Crossover Design using BART [PDF]
, 2023 Epidemiological approaches for examining human health responses to environmental exposures in observational studies often control for confounding by implementing clever matching schemes and using statistical methods based on conditional likelihood.

Estimating Perinatal Critical Windows of Susceptibility to Environmental Mixtures via Structured Bayesian Regression Tree Pairs [PDF]
, 2021 Maternal exposure to environmental chemicals during pregnancy can alter birth and children's health outcomes. Research seeks to identify critical windows, time periods when the exposures can change future health outcomes, and estimate the exposure-response relationship.
