Laboratoire d’aérologie (CNRS, TOULOUSE) EDI group (Emissions-Depostion-Impacts, C. Liousse) Involvement in AMMA : Measurements campaigns : IDAF/AMMA/SACCLAP and experiments in the LA combustion chamber (Mass, Chemical speciation of the aerosol,aerosol size/chemistry,physical properties, in air and in rains) Activity in multiscale atmospheric chemistry modelling Collaborations: Link with LAMP/LOA, ICTP (UNESCO) and TM4-TM5 group. Strong collaborations with African Researchers : Ivory Coast, Senegal, Benin, Cameroon, South Africa, Niger, Mali, Congo : 6 shared phD at this time
Modelling of African aerosol in the context of AMMA • Main scientific objectives : • Improving the characterization of aerosol mixture in the 3D models …. • Sources and transport : cf Liousse presentation. • Physical and chemical state of the mixing • Optical and hygroscopic properties • Impact on regional budgets (transport / deposition) • Impact on regional radiative forcing • … for a better characterization of aerosol/chemistry/climate interactions over the region.
