Aerosols from sea ice sources: Does the climate care?
CRiceS webinar: The Arctic is warming at a 4 times faster rate than the rest of the world which current climate models fail to replicate. What role do particles in the air from natural sources play on climate change, and do we fully understand the impact of rapidly melting sea ice and snow?

Online webinar
CICERO
This CRiceS webinar presents recent research on the effect of sea salt aerosols emitted in sea ice regions on the polar climate. Through presentations and a panel discussion, it gives insight into how models can and need to be improved for a better understanding of the present-day and future polar climate.
Programme
Presentations:
• Markus Frey, British Antarctic Survey: Aerosols from sea ice during Arctic winter: observations and climate impact
• Rémy Lapere, Institut des Géosciences de l’Environnement & LATMOS: A modeler’s perspective on marine aerosols in the Arctic
Panel discussion:
• Ruth Price, British Antarctic Survey
• Ulas Im, Aarhus University
• Markus Frey, British Antarctic Survey
• Rémy Lapere, Institut des Géosciences de l’Environnement
Moderator: Annica Ekman, Stockholm University
The CRiceS project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, focuses on improving model predictions of the role of polar processes in the climate system that consists of the oceans, ice and snow cover, and the atmosphere.
