Speaker: Peter Adams, Carnegie Mellon University [speaker's website]
Organic aerosol chemistry and aerosol-cloud interactions are currently two major areas of aerosol research. Ultimately, success in these areas depends on our understanding of the global budgets of organic aerosols and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), respectively. This talk will highlight progress made in developing global model capabilities to model these budgets and quantitatively evaluate model predictions against state-of-the-art observations.
