PURPOSE:

explore scientific questions and priorities for a large-scale aerosol-cloud-turbulence research facility

At the workshop, we'll gauge community interest and to get a sense of priorities for the range of scientific challenges that are likely to be amenable to laboratory investigation.

Two of the overarching questions will be:

  • What can we learn with a large-scale aerosol-cloud facility that would be difficult to learn otherwise?
  • What would a large-scale aerosol-cloud facility look like and what measurement capabilities should be associated with it?

Being part of this workshop means that you are part of these conversations. The sessions will not be "listen-only" mode, but rather interactive.

We expect to have a report outline developed as part of this workshop.

Space is limited. If workshop capacity is reached, a waiting list will be kept in the case of cancellations.
