ABSTRACT DEADLINE: 6 August 2013 at 23:59ET/3:59+1 GMT. Dear colleagues, Last year's AGU Fog session was greatly enlivened by the participation of plant ecologists, ecophysiologists, and microbiologists. This year we invite you once again to join the discussion about the air-sea-land-bio-anthro interface of fog and submit work that helps us understand fog or the impacts from fog. Are you an atmospheric microbiologist looking for a convenient sampling location? Consider the surfaces of fog droplets or its interstitials. Are you an intertidal ecologist studying thermal effects under climate change? Fog might be your friend, join us.
Fog Session (A033), AGU Fall Meeting, San Francisco, December 9 – 13, 2013 Fog: Atmosphere, biosphere, land, and ocean interactions Abstract: Stratocumulus and fog define the climatology of the eastern Pacific coast, and numerous other regions, impacting the hydrologic cycle and the thermodynamic balance of ecosystems and urban environments. Factors driving fog include atmospheric inversions, synoptic meteorology, SST, sea spray, aerosol-cloud dynamics, topography, and land surface variables. Understanding fog and biotic responses to fog require a diverse array of measurements and models that link processes at multiple scales. We seek presentations on physical, chemical, biological, and anthropogenic processes that drive and are influenced by coastal or non-coastal fog using process models; ground-based, airborne, or satellite observations; or manipulative experiments. http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/ https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/account/ Please contact any of the session conveners for more information: Alicia Torregrosa ([email protected]); , Travis O'Brien ([email protected]); Chris Still ([email protected]), and Ian Faloona ( [email protected]). ............................................................................
