SYSC: Symposium Strange Clouds – from the Earth to Exoplanets

SYSC 1: Strange Clouds – From the Earth to Exoplanets

Tuesday, March 21, 2023, 11:00–13:00, HSZ/0004

Clouds serve an essential purpose in the Earth’s lower atmosphere due to their impact on the radiative balance of the atmosphere. Clouds are found also in other planetary atmospheres throughout the solar system and even on exoplanets, and those clouds can differ strongly in their chemical composition from Earth’s water/ice clouds. This session provides a forum on the fascinating properties of these “strange clouds”: clouds in planetary atmospheres that differ from the ordinary clouds in the Earth’s troposphere.
