Fall AGU Session on the Southern Ocean

Session A065: The Southern Ocean: Clouds, Aerosols and the Air-Sea Interface

Convenors: C. Bretherton (U. Washington), C. Jakob (Monash U.), P. Quinn
(NOAA/PMEL), R. Weller (WHOI)

This session brings together observational and modeling research on clouds,
aerosols and air-sea interaction over the sparsely observed Southern Ocean.
Here, climate models underestimate low cloud, confront uncertainties in
cloud-nucleating aerosol concentrations and ice/mixed phase processes, and
often overpredict wind stress, affecting cloud feedbacks and precipitation
globally.  Solicited topics include cloud characteristics (vertical
distribution, phase, precipitation, radiative interaction), aerosol
transport/sources/sinks, aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions, air-sea
coupling (including interannual and longer variability), their relevance to
climate model biases or climate change, and key knowledge
gaps/opportunities.
