Abstract

A First Experimental Approach to Some Key Questions in Cloud Chemistry A contribution from the coordinator of subproject PROCLOUD Sandro Fuzzi* and A I Flossmann^ *IstitutoFISBAT-C.N.R., Bologna, Italy ^Laboratoire de Meteorologie Physique - Universite Blaise Pascal, Clermont-Ferrand, France Introduction In spite of the huge advancement in knowledge achieved during the past decade in the field of cloud processes and of aerosol-cloud interaction (see, for example, Fuzzi et a/., 1997), a lot remains to be done in order to provide the necessary background information for the parametrisation of cloud models at different scales. Experimental studies in the real atmosphere are of particular importance in this respect. Two issues where knowledge is particularly poor are also specific objectives of the EUROTRAC-2 subproject PROCLOUD, which is just entering in its operational phase: * the
