The sources and fate of organic gases and particles in the atmosphere: characterizations, mechanisms, and modeling
The sources and fate of organic gases and particles in the atmosphere: characterizations, mechanisms, and modeling
Session ID#: 78492
Session Description:
The ubiquity and importance of organics in the atmosphere is well recognized, yet gaps still exist in our understanding of their sources and evolution, as well as their impact on climate and air quality. This session highlights the latest field, laboratory, and modeling studies that advance our understanding of the sources and fate of organic gases and particles in the atmosphere. All contributions are welcome, but of particular interest are those using novel measurement techniques and analysis approaches characterizing emissions sources, laboratory and field studies in order to reveal new insights into the atmospheric evolution of organic species (e.g. oxidation mechanisms, secondary organic aerosol formation and aging). Similarly, modeling efforts that capture their life cycle with observational constraints and process-level developments are of special interest.
