• Active volcanoes (natural emissions)
• Atacama: dryest desert of the world between the open Pacific and the heigh Andes (dust and circulations)
• Intensive and long-term mining activities (anthropogenic emissions)
• Humboldt current, upwelling and fishery (biogenic emissions, air-sea exchange and circulations)
• Most persistent and extensive subtropical Sc deck of the SH (microphysics and energy balance)

In the remote marine atmosphere the supply of DMS and its oxidation mechanisms limit the rates of new particle nucleation and growth.
These processes probably control the re-filling of POCs with clouds.
Iodine, ammonia, and organics may also play a role.

Surface forcing from buoy driving a one-dimensional ocean model (PWP) produces a surface layer that is too warm and too salty.
Additional cooling and freshening is needed…..Eddies?)

…But still non-conclusive• What about
– DMS?
– Sea-salt
– Other aerosols
• Are CLs the only relevant weather conditions?
• Shouldn´t one see a trend change since the 90’s?
• What are the expected changes in terms of W/m2?

Millennium Science Nucleus on Coastal Climate Dynamics (2007-2010) ?
• Understanding of the dynamics of the coastal low-level jet system and its relationship with low-cloud cover variability and coastal upwelling
• Assessing the relative contributions of local and remote forcings in the effectiveness (nutrient availability) of upwelling in north-central Chile
• Increasing our understanding of how anthropogenic and natural aerosols, mainly sulfate aerosols, interact with the persistent stratocumulus deck in the coastal areas of Central and Northern Chile.
• Define adequate assimilation strategies for improving radiative transfer simulations in regional atmospheric models

Summary• The SEP region is a fantastic research area!!..with a large
potential for scientific growth• VOCALS offers a unique opportunity to improve our
(quantitative) understanding of aerosol-cloud-climate and land-sea-atmosphere interactions
• There is “evidence” of an impact of anthropogenic sulfate aerosols on the subtropical Sc deck (Huneeus et al, 2006)
• CEAZA can play a central role…hydrological cycle!
