| Session Description | The Maritime Continent (MC) and mainland South-East Asia (SEA) host one the most complex aerosol and cloud processes in the world. Unique meteorological conditions coupled to a consistently high cloud cover poses a substantial challenge for in-situ and satellite remote sensing observations. To address these issues, this session aims to provide a platform for communicating, discussing and sharing research experiences from both the MC and SEA. Papers discussing issues from fundamental aerosol studies either from in-situ and remote sensing, aerosol micro-physics and chemistry, aerosol transport, radiative processes and aerosol impact on climate; clouds and precipitation, aerosol-cloud interaction as well as satellite data products assessment and its efficacy across the region. |
