A53D:
Polar Atmospheric Processes and Their Interactions with Land, Ice, and Ocean I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 60014

Session Description:
Rapid, record changes in the Polar Regions have widespread implications for human activities and global climate. A better understanding of the highly complex Arctic and Antarctic systems requires combined modeling and observation activities that incorporate a variety of technologies and data sources (e.g., from large-scale comprehensive field campaigns, coordinated modeling activities, satellites and SmallSats, ground stations, and autonomous vehicles). This session invites contributions on recent activities and insights on polar atmospheric processes and their physical, chemical and biological interactions with the ice sheets, sea ice and open oceans. We especially welcome papers on the polar radiation budget, boundary layer structure, and snow, cloud, and aerosol processes, transport, and interactions.
