Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 12520

Session Description:
By affecting radiative energy flows, low clouds exert a significant influence on Arctic sea and land ice, ocean biogeochemistry, and large-scale atmospheric dynamics.  Despite significant advances in understanding Arctic low clouds over recent years, the sensitivity of these clouds to environmental factors is a leading uncertainty in projections of Arctic climate change.  In this session, we invite studies that link Arctic low clouds with their environment, including air-sea-land exchanges of aerosols, energy, and moisture as well as interactions between clouds and marine ecological and biogeochemical processes. We welcome contributions that employ a wide range of methodologies, including numerical models and satellite, ground-based, and field campaign measurements. Speakers are encouraged to not only to discuss their recent findings, but to present a slide on the uncertainties that they consider to be key to understanding Arctic low cloud sensitivities and predictions.
