1. Biogenic SOA Summer School Theme: An interactive approach to understanding biogenic SOA formation through field measurements and models A few details… 20 students, 1st or 2nd year PhD students, international 10-14 days, summer 2010 Proposed sites: **Crete, Greece**; Harvard Forest, US; Upper Michigan Biological Station, US; Suggestions? Plenary Lectures: overview, biogenic emissions, chemistry, transport, and large-scale modeling Teaching Lectures: for biogenic emissions, chemistry, and transport a measurement and process-level modeling talk for each to go with activities Activities: branch enclosure VOCs measurements, laboratory analysis of VOCs, relevant calculations, 1-D model input, and 3-D model input Funding Sources: NSF (International—speaker support; ATM—student support), ACCENT, iLEAPS, IGAC, Suggestions?

2. Motivation Expose early graduate students to measurements and models related to BSOA Deeper appreciation/understanding of how measurements and models work together May provide incentive to pursue further studies in the field

3. Applications Letter of support from advisor CV (major, relevant courses taken) Statement of interest Advertise Universities with Atmospheric Science programs Conference Bulletin Boards (AAAR, IGAC,EAS, EGU, AGU, etc.) Email Lists

4. Lectures—Please…Suggestions Welcome!! Overview and Large-Scale Modeling (at end) ◦ Suggested Speakers: Maria Kanakidou ◦ Topics to cover: SOA formation basics: “self- consistent” terminology, aqueous and organic partitioning; focusing on biogenic aspect; why biogenic SOA important (temperature, RH, etc. dependent…variability!!); broader air quality importance; gas phase and particle phase measurements, and process-level and large-scale modeling Biogenic Emissions ◦ Suggested Speakers: Alex Guenther ◦ Topics to cover: ◦ Measurement Teaching Lecture  Speaker suggestions: Jaana Bäck ◦ Process-Level Modeling Teaching Lecture  Speaker suggestions: Michael Boy Chemistry ◦ Suggested Speakers: Paul Ziemann, Yinon Rudich ◦ Topics to cover: atmospheric processessing (oxidation, MW-building reactions) in gas phase, particle phase (aqueous, organic, mixed), and heterogeneously of biogenic emissions that lead to particle formation and growth ◦ Measurement Teaching Lecture  Speaker suggestions: Amy Sullivan ◦ Process-Level Modeling Teaching Lecture (number)  Speaker suggestions: Tatu Anttila ◦ Process-Level Modeling Teaching Lecture (mass)  Speaker suggestions: Kelley Barsanti Transport/Boundary Layer Dynamics Suggested Speakers: Olaf Hellmuth ◦ Topics to cover: exchanges/flux (heat, energy) ◦ Measurement Teaching Lecture  Speaker suggestions: ◦ Process-Level Modeling Teaching Lecture  Speaker suggestions: talk to Allison Steiner, Colette Heald, Mary Barth

5. Activities VOC measurements (hands-on) ◦ Branch enclosures, spatially resolved, cartridges ◦ On-line GC/MS Particle measurements (demonstrative) ◦ CPC ◦ SMPS? ◦ On-line OC/EC Met measurements (demonstrative) ◦ Wind speed ◦ Temperature ◦ Energy ◦ Water vapor VOC analysis (hands-on) ◦ Cartridges…GC/MS, GC/FID 1-D modeling (hands-on) ◦ Model (Michael has great models…MALTE? New one?) ◦ Input collected data, see how SOA predictions differ for different inputs (emissions, K values, T, etc.) Student Presentations ◦ How did inputs/outputs differ? ◦ How did measurements/models differ? ◦ How do measurements/models compliment each other? ◦ Where do we need more information? Large-scale modeling (hands- on/demonstrative) ◦ Model (online tool) ◦ Changing single input…see how SOA predictions change (mass, radiative forcing, this is model dependent)
