We are particularly interested in features pertaining to the Earth's water cycle, aerosol-cloud-climate interactions, and interactions between Earth's atmosphere and surface components, that are often influenced by natural and anthropogenic gaseous and aerosol emissions. We are interested in answering hypothesis-driven physical questions, but also in the computational challenges of modeling these processes accurately on current and upcoming computer systems.
