Dear Colleagues ,
We invite you to submit your AGU24 abstract to our session "A119. Recent advances in aerosol representation and its impacts on climate, air quality and health". This session encourages efforts in modeling, observation, and theory to study aerosol microphysics, aerosol processes, and aerosol impacts. We are delighted to confirm our two invited authors: Prof. Randall Martin (WashU) and Dr. Cenlin He (NCAR).
Abstracts can be submitted to our session at https://lnkd.in/gcBwK5Gb. Please note the deadline for submissions is July 31, 2024 at 23:59 EDT. Please see our session's details below.
Session A119 - Recent advances in aerosol representation and its impacts on climate, air quality and health
Atmospheric aerosols and their interaction with radiation and clouds represent the largest uncertainties in our understanding of the climate. Beyond the climatic effects, their implications on air quality and human health are also profound. This session seeks to bring together recent advances, including but not limited to the following topics: (1) theoretical, experimental, and modeling effort on aerosol microphysics; (2) characterization of aerosol interactions with radiation (ARI) and clouds (ACI); (3) aerosol interactions with the biosphere, such as light-absorbing particles with snow/ice albedo, and dust/biomass-burning aerosols with the biogeochemical cycle; (4) the impact of atmospheric particulate matter and its chemical components on air quality and human health in a changing climate; (5) aerosol-climate interventions, such as stratospheric aerosol injection, marine cloud brightening, and cirrus cloud thinning; (6) multidecadal variations of aerosols and their impacts on Earth system; and (7) aerosols' effect on extreme meteorological events.
We hope that you will join us in December and encourage the forwarding of this announcement to other colleagues who might be interested.

8mo" (...) One of the objectives is to improve the measurement of gravity because tiny variations in the strength of the Earth’s gravity field have been shown to affect dwindling freshwater resources, the loss of ice mass from ice sheets and glaciers, and changes in sea-level, and therefore on climate change. The idea for future quantum sensors is to combine the principles of current gravimetry measurements with cold atom interferometry, which involves using lasers to freeze atoms within the instrument to near absolute zero (-273.15°C). Then, switching off the lasers allows the atoms to move freely in response to the strength of the gravity field. Measuring the phase difference through interferometry as the atoms ‘fall’ according to the pull of gravity will provide measurements of the gravity field as the satellite orbits around Earth. (...) "
