COST Action 735 "Tools for Assessing Global Air-Sea Fluxes of Climate and Air Pollution Relevant Gases" Final Event

Tuesday 29 November 2011, 9:00 - 12:30. Big Hall

The COST Action 735 Final Event represents the culmination of 5 years of collaboration across Europe and beyond in the field of assessing global air-sea fluxes of climate and air pollution relevant gases. The event will celebrate the achievements of this Action since its inception in June 2006.

ESA will host this special half day event preceding the Earth Observation for Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions Science meeting co-organised by ESA, SOLAS and EGU. All are welcome to attend.
