Models, In situ, and Remote sensing of Aerosols (MIRA)
Models, In situ, and Remote sensing of Aerosols (MIRA)
Session ID#: 157774
Session Description:
There is a natural partitioning of scientific interest amongst three specialties of aerosol research: modeling, in situ measurements, and remote sensing. The community sees enhanced measurement capabilities when these groups interact, and this strengthens the overall scientific impact on climate and air quality. The MIRA international working group is a forum for identifying collaborations and improving discussions amongst specialties and across regional boundaries, with the goal of creating new projects and enhancing existing projects. MIRA emphasizes areas of study where the aerosol specialties overlap, and ideal MIRA projects seek additional data from others (observed and modeled). Indeed, many of us are already working across multiple aerosol disciplines, and our work could benefit from additional access to different datasets and areas of expertise. We seek presentations that showcase interdisciplinary work and scientists who are interested in the MIRA concept. More information about MIRA can be found at https://science.larc.nasa.gov/mira-wg/.
