Mineral Aerosol Studies During ACE-Asia

摘要

This presentation for the ADEC Workshop will summarize results obtained as part of the Aerosol Characterization Experiment in Asia (ACE-Asia). The summaries are being provided by a group of collaborators who were involved in a variety of individual projects, and the talk will primarily focus on mineral dust/climate connections. The full set of results is yet to be obtained, however; and therefore, this document mainly provides background information on the program, lists a series of scientific questions to be addressed and describes the research strategy and operations for the program.
