		| Abstract: | 
		The measurement of elemental abundances of Asymptotic Giant Branch
 (AGB) stars is a highly challenging task that so far has not been
 solved in a satisfactory way. We report here on our efforts to
 confront predictions from hydrostatic and dynamical model atmospheres
 with observational results based on 
 high-resolution spectra of variable and non-variable giants
 in the globular cluster 47 Tuc. Our goal is to estimate the impact
 of atmospheric dynamics on the abundance determination. |
