Abstract

This work proposes to employ chemical transport models (CTM) to simulate various types of aerosols and cloud condensation nuclei in the Houston area during the 2005 Summer HEAT project. The model simulation will be compared to available measurements of aerosols and CCN collected during the HEAT project and data from satellite retrieval of aerosols.
