Arctic Aerosols: Tiny Drivers of Climate Change

This lecture by the instructor covers the impact of Arctic aerosols on climate change, focusing on their sources, processes, and effects. It discusses the amplification of warming in the Arctic, aerosol-cloud interactions, and the emergence of iodic acid. The presentation also addresses the equal abundance of natural and anthropogenic organic aerosols, the influence of natural aerosols on cloud formation, and the implications of warm air mass intrusions. The lecture emphasizes the need for systematic investigations and numerical simulations to quantify radiation effects and understand the vertical distribution of aerosols in the Arctic.
