Atmospheric Aerosols and Their Interactions with Clouds, Radiation, and Climate
Atmospheric Aerosols and Their Interactions with Clouds, Radiation, and Climate
Session ID#: 251055
Session Description:
Atmospheric aerosols, which are formed, transformed, and removed through complex physicochemical processes, have profound impacts on human health. Besides, they affect meteorology and climate by interacting with clouds, radiation, and precipitation. Changes in meteorology and climate, in turn, influence the budget and lifecycle of aerosols. We welcome all theoretical, observational, experimental, and modeling studies that present new knowledge of aerosols and aerosol-cloud-radiation-climate interactions across all scales. Relevant topics include but are not limited to: (1) Sources, formation, evolution, and removal of aerosols, including inorganic and organic aerosols. (2) Aerosol physical and chemical processes that affect radiation and clouds, including new-particle formation and growth, cloud condensation and ice nucleation activities, multiphase chemistry, light absorption, mixing state. (3) Interactions among aerosols, radiation, liquid-, mixed-, and ice-phase clouds, and precipitation. (4) Impact of these interactions on weather, climate, and air pollution. (5) influence of meteorology and climate change on aerosols and air quality.
