Papers are invited for "Physical and biogeochemical feedbacks in the
climate system" (session CL15) to be convened at the European
Geophysical Union General Assembly on 13-18 April 2008, in Vienna,
Austria.
Session description:
The aims of the session are to present recent research and promote
discussion relevant to feedbacks within the climate system (relevance to
climate change in the next century is particularly welcome, but not
essential). Both physical and biogeochemical feedbacks are expected to
feature prominently in the session.
Possible topics include:
- cloud feedbacks;
- ice-albedo feedbacks;
- other polar amplification mechanisms;
- hydrological feedbacks;
- carbon cycle feedbacks;
- vegetation and/or land-use change feedbacks;
- ocean circulation feedbacks; and
- other biogeochemical feedbacks such as ocean DMS production,
terrestrial nitrogen cycling, dust production, and feedbacks involving
atmospheric chemistry.
Observational and modeling studies are equally encouraged, with modeling
studies expected to span the range of model hierarchy from simple models
to EMICs to coupled GCMs.
