SUMMARY:The assessment of global aerosol-cloud interactions – why is it 
 so hard?  - Dr Philip Stier (University of Oxford)

CONTACT:Dr Amanda Maycock
DESCRIPTION:Atmospheric aerosols play an important role in the global clim
 ate system through modifications of the global and regional radiation budg
 ets. In particular the uncertainties associated with aerosol-cloud interac
 tions and the resulting radiative effects remains persistently large – w
 hy? \n\nIn this talk\, I will highlight the difficulties to assess aerosol
 -cloud interactions from space-born remote sensing and discuss the state o
 f the art of the representation of aerosol-cloud interactions in global ch
 emistry aerosol climate models\, such as HadGEM-UKCA\, from the (slightly)
  better constrained stratiform clouds to new frontiers: the investigation 
 of aerosol effects on convective clouds.
