17th International Conference on Nucleation and Atmospheric Aerosols, August 13th-17th, 2007, Galway, Ireland
ICNAA Logo
 

The Committee on Nucleation and Atmospheric Aerosols brings together scientists covering the following subject areas:

Nucleation Theory & Experiment: Studies of homogeneous, heterogeneous and ion induced nucleation including single or multicomponent system cluster formation and properties, condensation, and evaporation, and experimental, theoretical and computational investigations.

Tropospheric & Stratospheric Aerosols: Fundamental processes associated with tropospheric and stratospheric aerosols, especially related to global warming, acid rain, air quality and multi-phase chemistry.  Studies into aerosol concentrations and distributions, variability and long term trends. Focus on composition, hygroscopicity, thermodynamics, phase changes, physico-chemical properties, and optical properties.

Cloud Drop and Ice Nucleation: Fundamental processes related to droplet and ice-crystal activation, growth, cloud condensation nuclei and ice nuclei origin, composition, spatial and temporal distributions and loadings, experimental and theoretical studies.

Aerosol-Climate Interactions: Direct and indirect effects of atmospheric aerosols on radiative forcing and climate, remote sensing and regional to global scale climate modelling of aerosol impacts and feedback systems.
Welcome
 
The 17th International Conference on Nucleation & Atmospheric Aerosols (ICNAA) is one of a series held regularly at 3-4 year intervals and is held in conjunction with the International Commission on Clouds and Precipitation (ICCP) conference. The 2004 ICCP and ICNAA conferences were held in Bologna and Kyoto, respectively. To facilitate increased attendance of both conferences, following the 2007 Galway meeting, future ICNAA meetings will occur one year after the ICCP meeting. The 15th ICCP will be held in 2008 in Mexico and  the 18th ICNAA meeting will be held in Prague, Czech Republic, 2009.  Subsequent meetings will be held at 4-year intervals.
