Biomass burning and its impacts: emission, chemical evolution, and beyond
Biomass burning and its impacts: emission, chemical evolution, and beyond
Session ID#: 76663
Session Description:
Biomass burning is a significant but mostly under-characterized source for atmospheric composition, affecting public health, air quality, nutrient cycles, weather, and climate. Recent efforts aimed to provide a better understanding of the emission and the atmospheric evolution of fire smoke. We welcome presentations that investigate the chemical and physical processes of biomass burning, as well as their implications for local, regional and global atmospheric composition. Studies based on laboratory experiments, field campaigns, satellite observations, and modeling on various temporal scales are all welcome.
