Atmospheric Aerosols and Their Interactions with Clouds, Radiation, and Climate
Session ID#: 282074
Session Description:
We welcome theoretical, observational, experimental, modeling, and data-driven studies that advance understanding of aerosols and aerosol-cloud-radiation-climate interactions across scales, from process-level understanding to Earth system prediction. Topics include: (1) Aerosol sources, formation, evolution, and removal. (2) Aerosol processes affecting radiation and clouds, including new-particle formation and growth, cloud condensation and ice nucleation, multiphase chemistry, optical properties, and mixing state. (3) Interactions among aerosols, radiation, liquid-, mixed-, and ice-phase clouds, and precipitation. (4) Emerging observational and data-driven constraints, including laboratory studies, field observations, remote sensing, and machine learning. (5) Impacts and feedbacks involving weather, climate, and air quality.
