Modeling Optimal Pathways to a Triple Win in Air Quality, Climate, and Equity Open
“Triple win” strategies in air quality are those that benefit health, climate, and equity. Traditional air pollution modeling estimates these outcomes based on simulated changes in emissions. Here, we develop an inverse modeling approach t…

Changes in PM2.5-attributable mortality in the US by sector, 2002-2019 Open
Levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution in the United States have declined substantially in recent decades, yielding substantial benefits for public health. This study evaluates emission reductions across five key economic …

Calibrating Bayesian UNet++ for Sub-Seasonal Forecasting Open
Seasonal forecasting is a crucial task when it comes to detecting the extreme heat and colds that occur due to climate change. Confidence in the predictions should be reliable since a small increase in the temperatures in a year has a big …

Modelling black carbon absorption of solar radiation: combining external and internal mixing assumptions Open
An accurate simulation of the absorption properties is key for assessing the radiative effects of aerosol on meteorology and climate. The representation of how chemical species are mixed inside the particles (the mixing state) is one of th…

Two-scale multi-model ensemble: is a hybrid ensemble of opportunity telling us more? Open
In this study we introduce a hybrid ensemble consisting of air quality models operating at both the global and regional scale. The work is motivated by the fact that these different types of models treat specific portions of the atmospheri…
