Scientific Topics

The scope of the conference covers 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 for transport,
• near-field and plume processes, effective emissions,
• transport impact on the chemical composition of the atmosphere,
• transport 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 changes in vehicles and engines (e.g., low NOx engines, alternative fuels),
• mitigation of transport impacts by operational means (e.g., air traffic management, environmental flight and ship routing).

Observational, experimental, remote sensing and modelling studies are encouraged.
