Hi Faye and Thorsten,

I’m writing to invite abstract submissions to the following session at the AGU Fall Meeting:

A012:  Arctic Tropospheric Composition:  Natural and Anthropogenic Emissions, Transport, Processing, and Fate of Trace Gases and Aerosols

Session Description:

Recent studies have demonstrated the need to improve knowledge of the processes that govern trace gas and aerosol budgets in the Arctic region.  Atmospheric processes determine the concentrations of short-lived climate forcers, which have contributed to the rapid warming of the Arctic over recent decades. Understanding the lifecycle of trace gases and aerosols in the Arctic is also important because they influence air quality, leading to negative impacts on human health and vulnerable ecosystems, and contribute to important chemistry-climate interactions.  The multiple time and spatial scales of emissions, transport, chemical and physical processing, and deposition processes requires the use of long term observations, focused observational data, laboratory studies, and modeling at multiple scales.  This session invites research on natural and anthropogenic sources and cycling of trace gases and aerosols in the Arctic region.  Contributions from a wide variety of research perspectives are encouraged.

Deadline: August 5, 2015

Sponsor: Atmosphere

Conveners:

Jennie L Thomas, LATMOS/CNRS, Paris, France 

Steve Arnold, University of Leeds, United Kingdom 

Jennifer G Murphy, University of Toronto, Canada

This is in addition to the AICI session organized by Markus Frey at the meeting.  As the co-chairs of AICI I wanted to also make you aware of the Arctic focused session that I am organizing with colleagues in the UK and Canada.  I hope we will see you there!  

Cheers,

Jennie
