| Session Description | Atmospheric particles called aerosols and clouds change the earth's climate significantly. There has been a common recognition that anthropogenic aerosols make large direct and indirect forcings to perturb the earth's climate. This session studies such climate effects of aerosols and clouds, especially those of Asian region, through regional observation, satellite remote sensing, and numerical modeling. |
