Abstract
Aerosol field characterization experiments have been performed within different field campaigns and main findings are presented here. Recent campaigns include (a) the campaigns of the ‘Stadtaerosol’ -project within the German AFS programme and (b) the Saxonian ‘SLUG’ project of our group. Tropospheric aerosols are necessary for cloud formation and clouds, on the other hand, are processing the chemical constituents of the multiphase system including gases, cloudwater and aerosol constituents. Therefore, both aerosol-gas as well as cloudwater chemical systems are studied in laboratory experiments which are briefly described. Finally, a multiphase model is described which is used to simulate cloud chemical conversions and, in a first series of numerical experiments, aerosol organic composition changes.
