Chemistry-climate interactions
Chemistry-climate interactions
Session ID#: 78419
Session Description:
Changes in atmospheric composition influence local and global climate through a wide variety of direct and indirect mechanisms. Likewise, long-term changes in climatological patterns can have profound impacts on the emissions, chemistry, transport, and deposition of many trace gases and aerosol particles that have human health, ecosystem, and climatic relevance. We invite research that explores these feedbacks and mechanisms across a variety of spatiotemporal scales through observations, theory, and/or numerical modeling. Topics relevant to this session include (but are not limited to) direct climatic influences on atmospheric chemistry, exploration of the chemistry of climate-relevant atmospheric constituents, and examination of indirect chemistry-climate feedbacks as mediated by clouds, terrestrial biosphere or oceans.
