A54D:
Polar Atmospheric Processes and Their Interactions with the Land, Ice, and Ocean Surface III

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 33555

Session Description:
The earth’s polar regions are experiencing unprecedented changes, which will have profound effects on the global climate, society and biodiversity. Given the complexity of polar climate, a complete understanding requires a continuous effort in observation, modeling, and a thorough analysis of each component and their interactions. This session invites contributions on recent advances in polar remote sensing and in situ observations, modeling and analysis of polar atmospheric processes and their physical, chemical and biological interactions with the ice sheets, sea ice and open oceans. We especially welcome papers on polar radiation budget, boundary layer, polar cloud, blowing snow processes, and precipitation modeling or analysis.
