Description:

Atmospheric chemistry governs the formation processes, cloud condensation/ice nucleation activities, and radiative properties of aerosols, and therefore has profound impacts on clouds, radiation, and meteorology. The changes in clouds and meteorology in turn influence the atmospheric chemistry controlling aerosol properties and air pollution. An adequate understanding of the complex interactions calls for advances in theoretical, observational, experimental, and modeling studies.

We welcome all studies that present new knowledge of atmospheric chemistry in the interactions between aerosols, clouds, radiation, and meteorology. Relevant topics include but are not limited to: (1) Aerosol chemical processes that affect clouds and meteorology, including new particle formation and growth, heterogeneous/multiphase chemistry, chemical aging, mixing state/phase state variations. (2) Impact of the aerosol chemical processes and properties on cloud condensation and ice nucleation activities, (liquid-, mixed-, and ice-phase) clouds, radiation, and meteorology. (3) Cloud processing of aerosols, such as cloud chemistry, wet scavenging, and resuspension. (4) Influence of meteorology on atmospheric chemistry and air pollution.
