- Urs Baltensperger: What relevant information is provided by GAW stations, ice cores? (PPT presentation, 3.2 MB)
Panel Discussion
- Can we decrease black carbon (BC)
aerosols enough to alleviate the global warming
"bounce" that will accompany "clear-sky" initiatives that are
expected to greatly reduce reflecting aerosols in places such
as the U.S. and China?
What information/research is needed to better address this issue? (Chair: Tami Bond)

Panel Discussion

e.g., the increasing tendency for droughts in northern China,
Afghanistan, and other places?
