Conveners of session AS2.3, entitled "Boundary Layers in High Latitudes
and Over Snow and Ice: Physics and Chemistry," invite abstract
submission. The session will be held at the European Geosciences Union
(EGU) General Assembly 2014. The formal deadline of this call has
passed, but if you are interested in submitting a paper to this session
you can still contact any of the conveners.
This session is intended to provide an interdisciplinary forum to bring
together researchers working in the areas of high-latitude meteorology,
chemistry, oceanography, and climate. The emphasis is on the role of
boundary layer processes that mediate exchanges between the Earth's
surface (snow, ice, ocean and land) and the atmosphere. We invite
contributions in the following areas:
(1) Results from field programs and observatories, insights from
laboratory studies, and advances in modeling and reanalysis.
(2) Surface processes involving snow, sea-ice, ocean,
land/atmosphere chemical exchange.
(3) External controls on the boundary layer such as clouds and
transport processes.
(4) The role of boundary layers in polar climate change and
implications of climate change for surface exchange processes,
especially in the context of reduced Arctic sea ice and physical and
chemical changes associated with an increasing fraction of first
year ice.
Given the interdisciplinary nature of this session, we encourage all
presentations to start by briefly explaining how their work relates to
the broader context. In past years we have requested a schedule where
poster sessions follow oral sessions to allow for oral poster
introductions. For those who indicate a no preference request for the
presentation style, we encourage a poster supplement to allow for
further discussion. We would like to encourage young scientist/student
presentations by reserving several oral units per session for such
papers.
The formal deadline of this call has passed, but if you are interested
in submitting a paper to this session you can still contact any of the
conveners.
