The Influences of Regional Aerosol Changes on Climate and Extreme Events
Session ID#: 251875
Session Description:
Anthropogenic aerosol emissions, shaped by varying levels of industrial development across the globe, exhibit pronounced spatial and temporal heterogeneity. However, the climatic implications of past and future changes in aerosol emissions and the geographic distribution thereof remain poorly understood. Quantitative estimates of the impacts of aerosol changes on climate change and extreme events, both local to and remote from emission regions, are urgently needed. This session will focus on climate and associated societal impacts of aerosols from country to global scales. We welcome submissions investigating aerosol changes and properties; aerosol influences on extreme events, historical and future climate change, and modes of climate variability; agricultural, health and other societal impacts; and related topics. Research based on modeling, observations, theoretical approaches, and emulation is all encouraged. As aerosol changes are expected to be especially important in the coming 2-3 decades, we particularly welcome input from the climate assessment and impacts community.
