NOAA CSL Research: ERB Research Meetings

Science Meeting

The Earth's Radiation Budget Science Meeting was held 6-8 November 2023 at the UCAR Center Green Campus in Boulder, CO and online. The purpose of this public, hybrid meeting was to introduce the climate science community to current and ongoing work supported by NOAA's Earth's Radiation Budget (ERB) Initiative; inform the community of recent avenues of research and sources of data; and, encourage collaborations and bring new researchers to the ERB community. The meeting took place over three days, with Day 1 focused on overview presentations, Day 2 on topical lightning talks, and Day 3 on potential collaborations and breakout discussion groups. Topics included but were not limited to: (a) NOAA's newest stratospheric observation efforts including the Stratospheric Aerosol processes, Budget, and Radiative Effects (SABRE) campaign and the Balloon Baseline Stratospheric Aerosol Profiles (B²SAP) project; (b) model improvements and new simulations focused on stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) and marine cloud brightening (MCB); and, (c) new process research in the stratosphere and marine boundary layer. The meeting was hosted by the NOAA ERB Program and UCAR's Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS). Over 130 people participated either in person or online.
