Workshop - Retrieval of Aerosol Properties from Satellite and Ground-based measurements

Wednesday May 11, 2011 - Meridian, 9:30-13:30

During this half a day workshop, we review and further coordinate research activities carried out within the STCE in regards to satellite observations of atmospheric aerosols. We start the workshop with short informal presentations (10-15 min) which will help us to identify possible areas of common interest, and after that we plan to have discussions on future collaboration.
