Working Group 3 - Climatic relevance

Objectives 

Study of the climatic relevance of the atmospheric electric field (AEF), in particular through its influence on atmospheric aerosol ionization and cloud microphysics. Establishing research needs and gaps and addressing these gaps.  

Tasks 

Establishment of research needs and gaps. Studies on AEF, aerosol ionization and cloud microphysics.

Resume:
Eugene Rozanov received the M.S. degree from Leningrad State University, Leningrad, Russia in 1979; and the Ph.D. degree from the Main Geophysical Observatory, Leningrad, Russia, in 1986, both degrees in physics and mathematics. Since 2001, he has been a Research Associate and a Project Manager at PMOD/WRC, Davos and IAC ETH, Zurich, Switzerland; accomplishing a development of climate-chemistry model on the basis MAECHAM4 and its application for a study of the solar-climate connections. During 1997–2000, he has been a Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA. This position enabled him to achieve the development and application of UIUC climate-chemistry model. He also held a position as a Senior Research Scientist at the Main Geophysical Observatory, St. Petersburg, Russia from 1988 to 1997, through which he contributed to the development of the photochemical code for climate-chemistry models and to the development and application of 1D and 2D radiation-photochemistry models. Dr. Rozanov held the position of a Research Scientist at the Main Geophysical Observatory, Leningrad, Russia 1979–1988, adding to the development of the radiation code for climate and general circulation models. Currently, he is a Research Associate and a Project Manager at the Physical and Meteorological Observatory/World Radiation Center, Davos, and at the Institute of Atmospheric and Climate Science, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland. Dr. Rozanov has a great experience in climate change, atmospheric chemistry, radiative transport, numerical methods, sun-earth connections.
