Session: Joint Session with the Committee on Atmospheric Chemistry. Part III: Quantification of Long-Range Transport of Air Pollutants (98th American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting)

Thursday, 11 January 2018: 8:30 AM-9:30 AM

412 (Hilton) (Austin, Texas)

Hosts: (Joint between the 20th Joint Conference on the Applications of Air Pollution Meteorology with the A&WMA; and the 20th Conference on Atmospheric Chemistry )

Cochairs:

It is now well recognized that international and global flows of pollutants contribute to ozone and aerosol pollution observed at the regional and local scales. However, quantifying the contribution of the long-range transport to observed air pollution and exceedances of ambient standards continues to be a scientific challenge. This session will explore recent and ongoing work to quantify extra-regional contributions to exceedances of air quality standards using global and regional models and the analysis of ground-, aircraft-, and space-based observations. The session will also explore projections of how international and global flows of pollutants are expected to change as a result of changes in global emissions and climate.
