The projects undertaken here at ATMOS Research address a wide range of topics, including regional climate change assessments, greenhouse gas emissions, controls and abatement strategies, atmospheric chemical transport modeling, and multi-scale analysis of interactions between the global environment and local to regional-scale climate, water resources, air quality, and human health.

Typical products include:

• Reviews of the latest scientific literature on a specific topic
  
  
• Charts, graphics and maps of past, present and future emissions or climate characteristics of a region
  
  
• High-resolution statistically-downscaled projections of future changes in climate characteristics (temperature, precipitation, humidity, streamflow, soil moisture, and snowpack) based on the latest global climate model simulations
  
  
• Calculations of projected future changes in relevant climate indicators, such as temperature thresholds for agricultural crops, or the occurrence of heavy rainfall events for municipal sewer system planning
  
  
• Evaluation of future greenhouse gas and air pollution emissions and control strategies, and their impacts on climate change and regional air quality
  
  
• Data formatted to the client’s requirements, to be used as input to a specific impacts model or commercially-available visualization packages such as ArcGIS
