Aerosol, Cloud, and Climate Research Laboratory
Welcome to Aerosol, Cloud, and Climate Research Laboratory (ACCRL) at the Research Center for Environmental Changes (RCEC), Academia Sinica
Group Leader: I-Chun Tsai
Our scientific goal is to investigate aerosols, cloud microphysics, aerosol-cloud interactions and their roles in the Earth’s system, including those associated with air quality, human health, and climate, through numerical models.
Our approaches include:
Developing aerosol microphysical parameterization for regional and global models
Combining observations and simulation results to discuss the impacts of natural and anthropogenic processes on Earth system
