Atmospheric Processes, Particles, and Chemistry

Session ID#: 76911

Session Description:
Many of the chemical and microphysical processes occurring in planetary atmospheres have direct similarities to those studied in the Earth's atmosphere. The aim of this session is to bring together atmospheric expertise from the Earth and planetary communities to share knowledge and techniques across traditional boundaries. We encourage submissions from all areas of atmospheric studies, including but not limited to experimental and/or theoretical studies of gas phase composition, chemistry, dynamics, and particle (aerosols and clouds) formation and evolution. We encourage reports of existing cross-disciplinary efforts as well as abstracts describing techniques that could be applied to other bodies, and submissions describing a gap in knowledge that could be addressed collaboratively. We intend to use the "short talk" format and a round table to maximize information exchange and encourage participants to initiate conversations that could lead to future collaborations and new research investigations.
