  1. Bio-hydro-atmo. interactions of Energy, Aerosols, Carbon, H2O, Organics & Nitrogen Atmosphere Cloud processes BEACHON Organic aerosol processes Photo-oxidant processes Biological particles and VOC emissions H2O CO2 NOyNH3 Latent and sensible heat NO/NH3 emission Carbon Cycle Water & Energy Cycles Nitrogen Cycle Precipitation and solar radiation Ozone and N deposition Water-limited Biosphere Drought Disturbances: Agriculture/Urban Insect outbreaks

  2. BEACHON approach: A regional focus within a multi-scale framework WRF model: Weather with Biogeochemistry and Land Surface processes Regional Scale Studies Canopy, Catchment and Boundary Layer studies: vertical flux and profile observations. Models: 1D, LES Observations: Airborne, satellite, eco-hydrological and climate networks Parameterization Parameterization Parameterization Soil and Leaf Scale Studies: Quantify response to temperature, solar radiation, soil moisture CCSM Global Earth System Model Regional biogeochemical and hydrological field measurements and modeling in water-limited landscapes and other globally important ecosystems

  4. BEACHON First Results: July- September 2008 Manitou Experimental Forest, Colorado • BEACHON infrastructure: • 30-m walk-up tower • 4 mobile laboratories with trace gas and aerosol analyzers • K-band radars • eco-hydrological sensors • Power: 400 Amps • Broadband internet • Preliminary findings: • frequent particle formation events • pristine air with some pollution events • bio-atmo exchange responds to precipitation • heterogeneous precipitation distribution

  5. Summer 2008 campaign next steps: WRF-CHEM modeling 4. RADAR and optical obs. of cloud distributions and characteristics 3. Release sonde measurements of boundary layer structure 1. Tower VOC and particle measurements: response to precipitation Developing an approach for linking biogenic aerosol, clouds and precipitation Primary and secondary particles 2. Oxidant and aerosol characteristics and processing 5. Hydrological and ecological observations of response to precipitation

Landscape Heterogeneity Study:The role of landscape heterogeneity in regulating the surface-atmosphere exchanges that influence water and biogeochemical cycles 3. Eco-hydrological Disturbance Study: The impact of eco-hydrological disturbances on the land surface processes controlling regional water and biogeochemical cycles 4. Coupled Water and Biogeochemistry Study:Constrain regional estimates of water, carbon, nitrogen and energy fluxes across a semi-arid climatic gradient Regional Disturbance study and Regional Biogeochemical Cycling study U.
