Atmospheric Aerosols and Their Interactions with Clouds, Radiation, and Climate
Session ID#: 157942
Session Description:
We welcome all theoretical, observational, experimental, and modeling studies that present new knowledge of aerosols and aerosol-climate interactions. Relevant topics include but are not limited to: (1) Sources, formation, evolution, and removal of aerosols, including inorganic and organic aerosols. (2) Aerosol physical and chemical processes that affect radiation and clouds, including new-particle formation and growth, cloud condensation and ice nucleation activities, multiphase chemistry, etc. (3) Interactions among aerosols, radiation, liquid-, mixed-, and ice-phase clouds, and precipitation. (4) Impact of these interactions on weather, climate change, and air pollution. (5) influence of meteorology and climate change on aerosols and air quality.
