Scientific Topics
The main topics of the DLR 5th International Conference on Transport, Atmosphere and Climate are:
- Vehicle emissions from engine and other sources (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 of transport,
- Transport 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, adapted vehicles/aircraft),
- Mitigation of transport impacts by operational means (e.g., air traffic management, environmental friendly flights and ship routing).
