Title: Recent Observational Advances on Polar Aerosol Origins, Processes and Impacts
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Julia Schmale
Tenure Track Assistant Professor, Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)
The polar regions warm more rapidly than the global average. They are not only a sentinels of climate warming, their transformation also has global and societal repercussions. A few of the processes leading to this accelerated warming are well understood. However, large uncertainties remain, which hamper our ability to simulate the future evolution of the Arctic and Antarctic and related consequences. Radiative forcing from aerosols and aerosol-cloud interactions significantly contribute to theseuncertainties. Therefore, several recent efforts have focused on understanding aerosol properties and aerosol-cloud interactions in the Arctic, elucidating hitherto unknown but relevant processes; e.g., blowing snow as a source of aerosols. In this presentation, I will provide an overview of recent advances in central Arctic and coastal Antarctic aerosol research, specifically focusing on natural particles, and remaining knowledge gaps, including from the following expeditions Arctic Ocean 2018, MOSAiC, Arctic Century, ARTofMELT
2023, and ORACLES 2024-25.
