Multisensor, Model, and Measurement Synergy: “Raising the Bar” for Aerosols, Clouds, Convection and Precipitation (A-CCP)

Session ID#: 80577

Session Description:
The National Academy’s Decadal Survey (DS) of NASA Earth Science identified Aerosols and Clouds, Convection and Precipitation (A-CCP) as a high-priority Designated Observables (DO). A NASA study is being conducted throughout the end of FY2021 aimed at exploring observing system architectures that address these DOs. The effort has two overarching, aspirational, aerosol-focused goals: reduce the uncertainty in (i) key processes that link aerosols to weather, climate, and air quality-related impacts and (ii) the direct and indirect aerosol-related radiative forcing of the climate system.

Thus, this year we are placing special focus on the use of current and past satellite sensors, together with models, to characterize air quality, aerosol redistribution, speciation, as well as direct and indirect radiative effects.

Presentations that focus on both the capabilities and the limitations of current satellite observations and include any thoughts on how an A-CCP architecture might “raise the bar" in coming years are encouraged.
