Title: Aerosols and regional climate dynamics (CSSP China)
Description: East Asian climate is affected by low-frequency variability from months to years ahead. This variability is driven by dynamical processes and their interaction with radiative effects, for example from atmospheric aerosols and increasing greenhouse gases. Aspects of the dynamics of regional climate, including global teleconnections and predictability, are therefore key research topics. These aspects need to be better understood from an observational, theoretical and computer modeling perspective if we are to improve regional climate predictions and long term climate projections. The projects selected under this call will comprise the work to understand the dynamical mechanisms and predictability of East Asian climate under CSSP China.
