Brief Introduction of the Lecture:

Aerosol-cloud interaction is one of the most uncertain factors in current weather and climate model simulations. Understanding the impact of aerosol pollution on weather and climate and its mechanism is a frontier basic scientific issue in the field of international atmospheric science, and also a hot issue in international scientific research. This report systematically introduces the scientific research achievements of the reporter in this field, elaborates the main academic ideas and viewpoints, and further reveals the impact and contribution of aerosol-cloud-radiation interaction on pollution weather, typhoon precipitation weather and rapid warming climate phenomenon of the Arctic from the perspective of clarifying the mechanism of aerosol-cloud interaction and its influencing factors, and prospects the related scientific issues.
