| Session Description | Aeolian aerosol is a serious environmental problem in arid and semi-arid regions in Asia and many other parts of the world. Anthropogenic aerosol is also getting more important because East Asia is a major source of anthropogenic pollutants due to the rapid economic expansion in many areas in East Asia. Recently dust storms have been remarkably increased in their intensity and occurrence frequency especially in the Asian continent, and anthropogenic aerosols in Asia have important implications for global radiative effects. This session will focus on the physical and chemical processes of Anthropogenic and Aeolian aerosol and their impacts on the environment, specifically for the processes on 1) Emissions of Aeolian dust and/or Anthropogenic aerosol 2) Long-range transport process of anthropogenic or aeolian aerosols 3) Deposition of Asian aerosols 4) Interaction between Asian aerosol and gases pollutants and, it will include - Development of the dust forecasting model - Size distribution of the Asian aerosol - Impacts on climate and environment - Others relevant to the phenomena in association with the Aeolian dust and /or anthropogenic aerosol |
