Papers are invited for session CL6, "Physical and Biogeochemical
Feedbacks in the Climate System," to be convened at the European
Geophysical Union (EGU) General Assembly, 19-24 April 2009, in Vienna,
Austria. The deadline for abstract submissions is Tuesday, 13 January
2009.
The aim of the session is to present recent research and to 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.
Invited speakers include: L. Hinzman (University of Alaska Fairbanks,
USA), B. Soden (RSMAS, University of Miami, USA), and L. Mercado (Center
for Ecology and Hydrology, Wallingford, UK).
