[RegCNET] Call for paper

[Ashraf Zakey]

Dear RegCNET,
    
 The ACC-CCI Workshop will be held at “Sala Conferenze del Rettorato” of 
Universita’ del Salento  (Piazza Tancredi 7, Lecce, Italy)

The workshop is jointly organized by the:

Physics Department of Universita’ del Salento, CMCC - Centro Euro Mediterraneo 
per i Cambiamenti Climatici, Italy ICTP, Trieste, Italy
Meteorological and Astronomy Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, 
Egypt 
Societa' Italiana di Aerosol, Italy

General Objective and Scope

The principal aim of the ACC-CCI International Workshop is to involve 
scientists and institutions in a discussion forum on the influence of aerosol 
on climate. Changes in atmospheric composition by anthropogenic aerosols will 
largely affect climate and hence human health, food production, and economy. 
The good understanding of processes that contribute to define how 
human-produced aerosols affect climate and the reproduction of these 
processes in models are main tasks to reducing uncertainties in aerosol 
climate effects and producing better predictions of Earth’s future climate An 
advanced, multi-disciplinary approach that integrates surface and space-based 
measurements with models will have to be developed to achieve the goal of 
reducing uncertainties in aerosol impacts on climate.

Workshop Topics
 
The workshop focuses on atmospheric composition changes by natural and 
anthropogenic aerosol, aerosol monitoring techniques from ground and space, 
the Climate-Chemistry Models (CCHMs), general circulation models (GCM), and 
regional climate models (RCM) that have been employed to examine the feedback 
between dynamical, physical and chemical processes. Contributions on 
atmospheric science studies of large urban centers are especially welcome. 
Topics include:

● Emissions;
●  Photochemistry;
●  Aerosol;
●  Satellite remote sensing of air quality in cities;
●  General circulation and regional climate models;
●  Parameterization of cloud microphysics/dynamics/radiation in models;
●  Dynamics and aerosol radiative effects;
●  Regional climate;
●  Air quality modeling;

Workshop Format
Oral and poster presentations and plenary talks from international experts
