Dr. Anne Thompson meets Penn State's Nittany Lion. |

The GATOR team's research focuses on several differently applications
of atmospheric chemistry. Our current projects include Quantifying Ozone
Enhancement by Forest Fire Plumes, Aura Satellite Validation and Improving
Cost Effective Air Quality Forecasting.
Past GATOR field campaigns include IONS-06 in Houston, Texas; Richland, Washington, and Beltsville, Maryland; TC4 in Las Tablas, Panama and ARC-IONS in Yellowknife, NWT, Canada. Our group also runs a mobile air quality research facility called NATIVE. It collects ground-based measurements of O3, CO, NO and NOx, SO2, wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity and pressure. NATIVE data can be viewed on the measurement page. | |
| Dr. Anne Thompson is actively planning, conducting and analyzing field data from NASA aircraft experiments, particularly those involving the link between chemistry and convection and biomass burning effects on ozone. | |
|
She has been involved with several campaigns including the 1997 DC-8 aircraft campaign, SONEX (SASS Ozone and Nitrogen Experiment), the SHADOZ Project, the INTEX ozonesonde network study, IONS-06, TC4 and ARC-IONS Dr. Thompson also teaches several courses within the Meteorology Department at Penn State with topics ranging from atmospheric chemistry to biogeochemical cycles and remote sensing. More information about Dr. Anne Thompson can be found on her Penn State Meteorology page or in her CV. |
