The project builds upon the idea that air quality and climate change issues are linked through “one atmosphere”, an approach that demands coordination and multi-tiered approaches. The complex roles that ozone and aerosols play in the atmosphere provide examples of such trade-offs. CalNex is the culmination of three years’ preparation.
