Current Research
Dr. Mian Chin is a principal investigator of several research projects involving global modeling of tropospheric aerosols and chemistry. She and her coworkers have developed a global model GOCART (Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport), which has been used to simulate tropospheric aerosols (including sulfate, black carbon, organic carbon, dust, and sea-salt) and related gas species, CO, and radionuclides (222Rn, 210Pb) . The tropospheric chemistry modeling activity is currently in progress. Driven by the assimilated meteorological fields from the Goddard Data Assimilation Office, the GOCART model is suitable for linking satellite and in-situ observations.
