Dear colleagues,
Please consider submitting an abstract to the session:
"Characterizing, understanding, predicting the radiative effects of major volcanic eruptions and their impacts on climate and societies"
at the EGU General Assembly in Vienna Austria, 3-8 May 2020.
This session aims to highlight new results from integrative research on the climatic response to volcanic eruptions of Pinatubo-magnitude and larger, with a special focus on studies conducted under the umbrella of the CMIP6, in particular the VolMIP activity.
This session invites contributions that explore the responses of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system to volcanic forcing, from the characterization of past volcanically-forced climate variability, particularly during the Common Era, and on the identification
of dominant mechanisms of interannual-to-interdecadal volcanically-forced variability by means of observations, climate reconstruction studies as well as modeling approaches.
This session also welcomes presentations contributing to current international SPARC-SSiRC and PAGES-VICS activities from research aimed at better understanding the stratospheric aerosol layer, its volcanic perturbations and impacts on historical and modern
societies. We further invite observational and modelling studies of the 2019 Raikoke aerosol cloud, from recent field campaigns and contributions on the potential role of volcanic eruptions on future climate variability and predictability.
