3. Atmospheric Composition “Futures” Workshop Held at ARC May 6-8, 2014 Primary use of recommendations will be by the Atmospheric Composition Focus Area Program Scientists/Managers to guide the development of future proposal solicitations and development of field campaigns Secondarily, recommendations will be made available to the upcoming NRC Decadal Survey General Topic Areas Stratospheric Composition; Aerosols; Atmosphere-Surface Exchange; Convection; Tropospheric Composition; Clouds; Atmospheric Circulation; Radiative Balance Process “Surveyors” gave introductory presentations; most on line now at https://espo.nasa.gov/home/content/NASA_SMD_Workshop https://espo.nasa.gov/home/content/NASA_SMD_Workshop “Rappoteurs” producing/refining summaries now Initial review by participants “soon”; revision (hopefully not too extensive!) Public comment period after that Finalize by mid-summer
