NERC tied-studentship in Atmospheric Chemistry
Aircraft measurements of OH and HO2 radicals
A fully funded PhD studentship (from NERC) is available from Oct 2005
The project involves field measurements of OH and HO2 radicals aboard the
newly instrumented FAAM BAe 146 aircraft, using the FAGE technique of laser-
induced fluorescence at low-pressure. The student will help to further
develop the aircraft instrument, and will participate in international
field campaigns. In summer 2006 the FAGE aircraft instrument will be
deployed during the AMMA (African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses)
project, based in West Africa, and other aircraft and ground-based
fieldwork using the instrument is also planned during the project. The
project will also entail some box modeling using the Master Chemical
Mechanism to calculate concentrations of short lived free-radical species
for comparison with aircraft measurements, and a study of mesoscale
chemical processes within the West African Monsoon.
