Session D9: Aerosol impact on regional climate (online and Trieste)

Location: SISSA Room D

Conveners: Marc Mallet (Meteo-France), Fabien Solmon (LAERO/OMP), Erik Kjellström (SMHI), Klaus Wyser (SMHI), Grigory Nikulin (SMHI), Helena Martins (SMHI), Johannes Quaas (Uni Leipzig), Michael Schulz (Met Norway), Annica Ekman (SU), Ilona Riipinen (SU).

This session, co-organised by FORCeS and the Med-CORDEX FPS on Aerosol, aims to bring together the latest advances in studies of regional aerosol impact from both global and regional climate modelling communities. Participants are invited to submit abstracts to this session with focus on linkages between aerosols and regional
climate change, both for past and future conditions. Abstracts on how global and regional climate models can be improved for better representation of key aerosol processes, as well as, on-going or soon to come coordinated actions, are also welcome. There is also an option to display posters in the session.
