Report to the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry Project
Abstract
IGAC’s mission is to facilitate atmospheric chemistry research towards a sustainable world. This is achieved through IGAC’s three focal activities: fostering community, building capacity, and providing leadership. A key component to achieving IGAC’s mission is its developing early career program. These scientists join an international network early in their career that puts the cogs in motion to further facilitate atmospheric chemistry research at an international level for years to come. IGAC’s Science Conference is a primary mechanism for IGAC to build cooperation and disseminate scientific information across its international community. The first IGAC Science Conference was held in 1993 in Eilat, Israel. Since then, IGAC has successfully held fourteen science conferences, consistently becoming a biennial conference starting in 2002. The biennial IGAC Science Conference is regarded as THE international conference on atmospheric chemistry and participation in the conference is typically in the range of 350-650 participants. Since 2004, IGAC has included an Early Career Scientists Program as part of the conference to foster the next generation of scientists. IGAC believes, and has seen, that by allowing scientists to form an international network of colleagues early in their career that future international collaborations in atmospheric chemistry are enhanced.

IGAC believes, and has seen, that by allowing scientists to form an international network of colleagues early in their career that future international collaborations in atmospheric chemistry are enhanced. The 2016 IGAC Science Conference Early Career Program consisted of numerous events throughout the week giving these scientists the opportunity to not only create a community amongst themselves, but to also engage and build relationships with senior scientists. In order to support the Early Career Scientists Program, IGAC sought funding from international, regional and local organizations to provide Travel Grants to the conference based on an assessment of both need and merit. This conference summary reports on outcomes of the 2016 IGAC Science Conference and the Early Career Program, which included early career travel grants funded by this DOE grant.},

IGAC provides an international framework for the planning, coordination, and execution of atmospheric--biospheric research with emphasis on projects which require resources beyond the capabilities of any single nation. The development of chemical emission inventories by IGAC scientists, the development and intercomparison under IGAC leadership of existing chemical transport models, the analysis of data gathered during IGAC-sponsored field campaigns, etc., has provided new scientific information essential to the development of the discipline.

Global atmospheric background monitoring for selected environmental parameters: BAPMON data for 1981: Volume 2. Precipitation chemistry, continuous atmospheric carbon dioxide, and suspended particulate matter
The report is the seventh in series reporting precipitation data from stations participating in the World Meterological Organization's network. The report consists of tables of raw data received from network sites around the world. -

Wet scavenging parameterization in the oxidant version of a three dimensional, global atmospheric chemistry-transport-deposition model
We have developed a three-dimensional, global atmospheric oxidant model, GRANTOUR, that predicts, among other species, tropospheric OH and O{sub 3} (Atherton et al., 1990). The model simulates a number of chemical and physical processes, including source emissions, chemical reactions, transport, and wet and dry deposition. Traditionally, global models parameterize wet deposition. This report compares wet scavenging rates, {lambda}, in the literature to those currently used in the oxidant version of GRANTOUR. -
