Research on Clouds within Eurotrac

  • Chapter
Transport and Chemical Transformation of Pollutants in the Troposphere

Abstract

Although the first studies on cloud chemistry date back to the nineteen fifties, it was only at the beginning of the eighties that the key role played by clouds in tropospheric chemistry was clearly highlighted. Some fundamental papers then pointed out the overall effect on the cloud life cycle, of the incorporation of chemical components within cloud droplets and of the chemical reactions in the liquid phase. The study of clouds and their importance in the global atmosphere is now one of the main tasks of the atmospheric sciences research community. The following issues indicate the importance of clouds in the atmosphere:
