2019 Workshop: CEDAR and Climate Change

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 1.5 degree report (https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/) released in October 2018 concluded risks of dire consequences of climate change and that the next decade is critical for transformational change to achieve deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to avoid the most serious impacts. This workshop will provide a forum for discussion about ways that the CEDAR community might contribute to global efforts to address climate change. Such efforts could include whole atmosphere studies of climate change processes; identifying aeronomy data sets and techniques that can also provide tropospheric information; continued work to reduce uncertainties in observations to facilitate their use for longer-term comparisons; and ways that the CEDAR community is or could potentially contribute to national and international climate assessment processes. We also welcome presentations relating to communicating climate science to the public.
