  Convenor: Norman McFarlane, SPARC IPO, University of Toronto, (Norm.McFarlane@ec.gc.ca)
  Invited Speakers: Peter Haynes, Bill Randel, Ian Folkins, Saroja Polavarapu, Ted Shepherd
  Description: This session will focus on topics falling within the scope of the WCRP SPARC (Stratospheric Processes and their Role in Climate) program. Accordingly, it will encompass the chemistry and dynamics of the atmosphere from the upper troposphere to the mesosphere, with an emphasis on integrative or coupled aspects. The over-arching themes of SPARC are chemistry-climate coupling; stratosphere-troposphere dynamical coupling; and the detection, attribution and prediction of stratospheric change. Core elements of the SPARC program include stratospheric data assimilation; process-oriented validation of chemistry-climate models (CCMVal); gravity waves; and laboratory studies.

    Forcing of the high-latitude climate system by the stratosphere. Convenor: V. Ramaswamy
    This session is focussed on recent advances in our knowledge of the forcing and response of the high latitude atmosphere-surface system arising due to changes in the stratosphere. The phenomena of interest span a variety of time scales. Both the northern and southern high-latitude regimes will be considered. On the one hand, the unforced variability of the climate system constitutes an important factor, while forcings due to natural and anthropogenic factors, including chemistry-climate interactions, have begun to command significant attention. Papers on observations and model simulations, together with diagnostic interpretations, on the past, present and future climates are solicited.
