The workshop deals with tropical meteorology and chemistry as needed in connection with ongoing and future scientific projects in the tropics concerning climate, air composition and related meteorological, physical and chemical processes.

 

The organisers of this workshop are involved in two European projects that are being performed in the coming years in the tropics, HIBISCUS and TROCCINOX and of a related Brazilian project.

 

The workshop serves to collect the knowledge on the relevant processes with respect to tropical meteorology and chemistry and to identify open questions and possible answers that might be achieved by ongoing and future projects in the tropics.
