******************************* From: Alan Robock <robock@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ******************************* Dear Colleagues, We invite you to submit an abstract to our special session at the AGU Joint Assembly in Acapulco, México, 22-25 May, 2007 (http://www.agu.org/meetings/ja07). The deadline for submissions is 1 March, 2007, 2359 UT (http://submissions5.agu.org/submission/entrance.asp). For the Joint Assembly there is no limit on how many abstracts can be submitted per person. A05: 25 Years after El Chichón: Volcanic Aerosols and Their Climatic Effects Description: Since the eruption of El Chichón 25 years ago, our understanding of volcanic aerosols in the stratosphere, their transport, and their effects on climate has seen major advances. We invite papers on observational and theoretical studies of volcanic aerosols, including remote sensing, in situ observations, their chemistry, transport, and interactions with ozone, as well as papers on the effects of volcanic eruptions on climate, including observational and climate model studies. The El Chichón eruption occurred at the same time as a very large El Niño event, and we particularly invite papers on the combined effects of both of these events on global climate. While this El Niño began before the El Chichón eruption, we also invite new studies on the possible interactions of volcanic eruptions and El Niños. Papers on the effects of much large volcanic eruptions than El Chichón are also welcome, as are those on producing new records of past volcanism from ice core and other records.
