Objectives
The workshop is designed to provide a forum where achievements, challenges and
perspectives of characterizing aerosol and cloud properties and their impact on climate are
presented. It will include coordination between the international space-based observation of the
atmosphere activities and evaluation of satellite products with the help of modelers, ground-based
remote sensing and in situ measurement scientists. The advances and challenges of accessing
aerosol and cloud effects on climate dynamics will be discussed. It is organized to gather the
scientists already involved in decades of collaboration to discuss the community
accomplishments and outline the most appealing dynamics for near future remote sensing
activities.
The participation in the workshop is by invitation only with the total number of
participant limited to ~ 100 people. Each participant or scientific team is expected to give 12+3
min presentation. The meeting of scientifically focused group of experts is planned to promote in
depth discussions.
Projected sessions
1. Achievements in characterization of aerosols, clouds and the earth's surface
2. Inversions, new ideas and algorithms to derive detailed aerosol and cloud properties: cloud and
aerosol passive and active remote sensing, characterization from satellite, ground-based, airborne
and in situ.
3. Modeling of aerosols, clouds and their climate effects
4. Future satellite missions
