    • Global chemical model analysis of biomass burning and lightning influences over the South Pacific in austral spring 

      Staudt, Amanda C.; Jacob, Daniel James; Logan, Jennifer A.; Bachiochi, David; Krishnamurti, T; Poisson, Nathalie (Wiley-Blackwell, 2002)
      A global three-dimensional model of tropospheric chemistry driven by reanalyzed European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts meteorological data is used to examine the sources of O3, CO, and nitrogen oxides (NOx = ...

    • Interannual Variability in Tropical Tropospheric Ozone and OH: The Role of Lightning 

      Murray, Lee; Logan, Jennifer A.; Jacob, Daniel James (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)
      Nitrogen oxide radicals (NOx) produced by lightning are natural precursors for the production of the dominant tropospheric oxidants, OH and ozone. Observations of the interannual variability (IAV) of tropical ozone and of ...

    • Interpretation of TOMS observations of tropical tropospheric ozone with a global model and in situ observations 

      Martin, Randall V.; Jacob, Daniel James; Logan, Jennifer A.; Bey, Isabelle; Yantosca, Robert M.; Staudt, Amanda; Li, Qinbin; Fiore, Arlene; Duncan, Bryan; Liu, Hongyu; Ginoux, Paul; Thouret, Valerie (American Geophysical Union, 2002)
      We interpret the distribution of tropical tropospheric ozone columns (TTOCs) from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) by using a global three-dimensional model of tropospheric chemistry (GEOS-CHEM) and additional ...

    • Sources and chemistry of nitrogen oxides over the tropical Pacific 

      Staudt, A. C.; Jacob, Daniel James; Ravetta, F; Logan, Jennifer A.; Bachiochi, D; Krishnamurti, T; Sandholm, S; Ridley, B; Singh, H; Talbot, B (Wiley-Blackwell, 2003)
      We examine the sources and chemistry affecting nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2) over the tropical Pacific (30°S–20°N) using observations from the Pacific Exploratory Mission to the Tropics B (PEM-Tropics B) aircraft mission ...
