The CACHE-GBA project addresses the gap between conventional and chemical weather monitoring by delivering long-term, high-resolution data on both total and speciated carbon. The resulting data will provide essential insights into pollution sources, formation pathways, and health impacts.
FOUR WORKING PACKAGES
How the Project Works
WP1
To explore and test a set of different analytical instruments for CC species of various states; to formulate standard operating procedures
WP2
To deploy sets of instruments at five monitoring stations in the GBA; to prepare standard calibration and personnel training programs
WP3
To cleanse and unify data from monitoring network, satellite measurement and numeric models; to develop new statistical methods to distill new insight; to create online platform for public and research-related access
WP4
Modelling
To assimilate high-resolution measurement data to regional air quality models for enhanced performance; to predict episodic events and short-term scenarios; to generate gridded data for evaluations of the epidemiological, ecological, and economic impacts
