Session on Aerosols
How important are aerosols for predicting the physical system (NWP, seasonal, climate) as distinct from predicting the aerosols themselves?
How important is atmospheric model quality for air quality forecasting?
Centre activities  
Participants led by S. Freitas – Focus on Aerosol treatment in NWP system, not air quality modelling
