FRAC Meetings

• This is the page for the Front Range Aerosol Program (FRAP) meetings. FRAP meetings are organized 2-3 times per year and aim to bring together aerosol researchers across the Colorado Front Range. They were started by Jim Smith of NCAR in 2001.

• The current FRAP steering commitee is comprised of: Chuck Brock (NOAA), Mary Barth (NCAR), Jim Smith (NCAR), and Jose-Luis Jimenez (CU-Boulder)

• Location: NCAR Foothills Lab Building 2, Room 1001
• Speaker: Allen Robinson, Professor, Departments of Mechanical

• Title: "The dynamic duo: the adventures of partitioning and aging

in the Carnegie Mellon Smog Chamber"

• Abstract: This talk will! highligh est results on the interplay of

partitioning and aging, including: 1. multigenerational chemistry; 2. phase mixing; 3. pumping of SVOCs

• Following Allen's 35-40-minute talk there will be a wine-and-cheese
