2016 Atmospheric Optics: Aerosols, Visibility, and the Radiative Balance Conference; Jackson Hole, Wyoming; September 27-30, 2016

该项目支持由空气与废物管理协会(A&A；WMA)主办的题为《2016年大气光学：气溶胶、能见度和辐射平衡》的研讨会。讲习班的目的是提供一个技术论坛，探讨在科学认识小颗粒对城市、区域、大陆和全球范围的雾霾和气候的影响方面取得的进展。会议将采取多管齐下的方法，鼓励提交科学材料(例如，与测量、建模等有关的材料)。以及涉及监管和政策问题的意见书。关键会议包括关于黑碳和棕色碳的会议，因为最近的研究表明了这些颗粒对辐射强迫的重要性，以及与大气氮和含碳物质对雾霾、气候变化和氮沉积对生态系统的影响的协同作用和日益令人关注的问题有关的会议。这一NSF项目支持美国大学和研究机构的研究生、博士后研究人员和初级教员的注册、旅行和住宿费用，否则他们将无法参加。

This project supports a workshop hosted by the Air & Waste Management Association (A&WMA) entitled 2016 Atmospheric Optics: Aerosols, Visibility, and the Radiative Balance. The objective of the workshop is to provide a technical forum on advances in the scientific understanding of the effects of small particles on urban, regional, continental, and global scale haze and climate. The conference will take a multipronged approach by encouraging scientific submissions (e.g., related to measurements, modeling, etc.) as well as submissions addressing regulatory and policy issues. Key sessions include one on black and brown carbon, since recent research has shown the importance of these particles for radiative forcing, and sessions related to the synergistic and increasing concerns of the effects of atmospheric nitrogen and carbonaceous material on haze, climate change, and nitrogen deposition on ecosystems. This NSF project supports the registration, travel, and lodging expenses for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and junior faculty from universities and research institutes within the U.S.A. who would otherwise be unable to attend.
