Scientific Topics
The conference will cover all aspects of the impact of the different modes of transport (aviation, road transport, shipping etc.)
on atmospheric chemistry, micro-physics, radiation and climate. In particular, papers on the following topics are welcome:
- engine emissions (gaseous and particulate),
- emission scenarios and emission data bases,
- near field and plume processes, effective emissions,
- impact on the chemical composition of the atmosphere,
- impact on aerosols,
- contrails, contrail cirrus, ship tracks,
- indirect cloud effects (e.g., aerosol-cloud interaction),
- radiative forcing,
- impact on climate,
- metrics for measuring climate change and damage,
- mitigation of transport impacts by technological means, i.e., environmental impacts of
modifications to vehicles and engines (e.g., low NOx engines, alternative fuels),
- mitigation of impacts by operational means (e.g., air traffic management,
environmentally friendly flight and ship routing).
Observational, experimental, remote sensing and modelling studies are
encouraged.
