Session ID#: 12712

Session Description:
Aerosols perturb Earth’s radiation budget, its hydrological and chemical cycles, strongly impacting climate, and possibly having some influence on weather.  Airborne particles also influence air quality, impairing visibility and affecting human health. Characterizing aerosol properties globally with sufficient fine-scale physical and chemical detail to address these issues requires a diversity of remote sensing, modeling, and in situ measurement techniques, plus effective techniques for integrating these elements. Reducing uncertainties in aerosol effects requires not only improving the measurements, but also continued model development and creation of new integration methods.  This AGU session, now in its 12th year, has tracked the advancement of these efforts.  It focuses on sharing all relevant aspects of our collective aerosol measurement, modeling, and synergistic experiences.  We encourage submissions discussing: aerosol-data synergies; innovative products & retrieval approaches; model-data comparisons & integration; application of multi-sensor, model and/or measurement-data to a range of interdisciplinary studies.
