Session Proposal: Advancing Understanding of Terrestrial–Atmospheric Interfaces: Linking Trace Gases, VOCs, and Aerosol Processes Across Scales (AGU25)

A017
Advancing Understanding of Terrestrial–Atmospheric Interfaces: Linking Trace Gases, VOCs, and Aerosol Processes Across Scales

Session ID#: 252174

Session Description:
The terrestrial ecosystem emits aerosols and gases into the atmosphere through various sources, including volcanic eruptions, wildland fires, plants, soil, and microbes. These aerosols and gas species participate in various atmospheric processes, such as cloud formation and multiphase chemistry. In turn, atmospheric particles and gases can transfer back to the terrestrial ecosystem, affecting the biogeochemistry of the terrestrial ecosystem. How these species affect the Earth system from the molecular and individual particle scales to the global scale is critical but poorly understood. Therefore, we invite submissions from (but not limited to) laboratory, field, remote-sensing, and numerical model studies from molecular to macro scales to share advanced knowledge on: 1) atmospheric aerosol and gas species emitted from terrestrial ecosystem; 2) impacts of atmospheric particle and gases on terrestrial ecosystem; 3) atmospheric gas composition and aerosol properties and their impacts on the Earth energy balance; 4) multiphase processes in varied terrestrial-atmospheric environments.
