KORUS-AQ offers the opportunity to further advance NASA goals and those of its international
partners related to air quality through a targeted field study focused on the South Korean
peninsula and surrounding waters. The study
would integrate observations from aircraft, ground sites, and satellites with air quality
models to understand the factors controlling air quality across urban, rural, and coastal interfaces.
KORUS-AQ serves as a model for international collaboration as Korean and U.S. scientists would
cooperate on all aspects of air quality research. This would build relationships and strengthen
future collaboration critical to the success of the constellation of geostationary air quality
satellites to be launched by NASA, KARI, and ESA later this decade » more
