Satellite Observations on air quality and stratospheric composition

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to participate in a special session at the EGU General Assembly in Vienna, 2-7 April 2006:

AS 3.15: Satellite Observations on air quality and stratospheric composition
Convener: Levelt, P.
Co-Conveners: Hilsenrath, E.; Veefkind, P.; Kyrölä, E.

This session will discuss recent discoveries of atmospheric composition including transport and chemistry in the stratosphere and troposphere. Results from observations of stratospheric ozone, depletion, and climate from Aura, Envisat, ACE, ODIN, and GOME or combination of these satellites is encouraged. Enhancements of these observations using data assimilation and chemistry transport models is also being solicited. Recent data validation activities and ground based measurements combined with satellite data will also be highlighted in this session.

The deadline for submitting abstracts is 13 January 2006.
