Workshop on Production Mechanism, Number Concentration, Size Distribution, Chemical Composition, and Optical Properties of Sea Spray Aerosols; Raleigh, NC; June 4-6, 2012

该奖项为2012年6月的研讨会提供部分支持，以解决最紧迫的开放科学问题，以改善对海雾气溶胶-辐射-气候相互作用的量化。讨论将涵盖海洋气溶胶-辐射-气候相互作用的不同方面，以探讨需要哪些同步信息，以及需要采取哪些步骤来获取此类信息，以深入了解和回答最关键的研究问题。讲习班的一个主要目标是将具有新的和不同观点的知名研究人员和年轻研究人员聚集在一起。为了实现这一目标，并在一个有重点和富有成效的论坛上提供专业互动的机会，三分之一的受邀研究人员是早期职业科学家（博士生，博士后研究人员和2005年后获得博士学位的年轻研究科学家）。讲习班的主要有形产品产生了更广泛的影响，这是一项优先计划，旨在开展和促进新的研究，以增进对海雾产生机制、大气海盐气溶胶分布、化学成分、辐射特性和寿命的了解。青年科学家有机会与大气和海洋科学领域的领导人会面、建立网络和交流思想，这也产生了额外的影响。

This award provides partial support for a June 2012 workshop to address the most urgent open science questions for improved quantification of sea spray aerosol-radiation-climate interactions. Discussions will cover different aspects of marine aerosol-radiation-climate interactions to explore what simultaneous information is needed and what steps need to be taken to acquire such information to gain insight and answer the most critical research questions. A major goal of the workshop is to bring together established researchers and young researchers with new and different perspectives. To achieve this goal and to provide opportunities for professional interactions in a focused and productive forum, one third of invited researchers are early career scientists (PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and young research scientists who received their PhD after 2005). Broader impacts of the workshop derive from its main tangible product, a prioritized plan for conducting and facilitating novel research to improve the understanding of sea spray production mechanism, atmospheric sea salt aerosol distribution, chemical composition, radiative properties and lifetime. Additional impacts result from the opportunity for young scientists to meet, network, and exchange ideas with leaders in the atmospheric and marine sciences.
