Global high-resolution marine isoprene emission derived from VIIRS-SNPP and MODIS-Aqua ocean color observations 1/25/2016Air Resources Laboratory1 Daniel Tong, Hang Lei, Li Pan, Pius Lee NOAA Air Resources Laboratory (ARL), College Park, MD Menghua Wang NOAA Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR), College Park, MD Brett Gantt and Sarwar Golam US EPA Office of Research and Development Jeff McQueen and Ivanka Stajner NOAA National Weather Services Acknowledge: NOAA Joint Satellite System Proving Ground Program for funding support; 2 Oceans cover 70% of Earths surface, but marine emissions are highly certain; Marine emissions play oversized roles in cloud formation in pristine environment; Isoprene (CH2=CH-C(CH3)=CH2) is a biogenic hydrocarbon emitted by trees, grasses and ocean phytoplankton. Marine Isoprene Emission Anthropogenic emissions decreasing and ozone standards tightened marine emissions and chemistry become increasingly important; Marine chemistry being added to CMAQ carefully verified emissions; There is a similar need for climate models and Earth System models.
