A33K:
Atmospheric Convection: Physics, Dynamics, Chemistry, and Roles in Weather and Climate I

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#: 15765

Session Description:
With the launch of new generation satellites, deployment of coordinated field campaigns and advances in high-resolution modeling, much progress has been made in understanding the dynamics of convective storm systems in a broad context of weather, climate and atmospheric composition. Motivated by these facts, we invite presentations on recent findings on tropical and mid-latitude convective storm systems and their impacts on the environment. Both observational and modeling studies are encouraged to participate in this session.
