Aerosol measurements in the FT are a convenient means for a quantification of the involved effects. Mountain stations are suitable for this purpose, since they allow the acquisition of long-term aerosol data, which are not available, for example, by measurements from aircraft platforms. Since July 1995, a number of aerosol parameters have been measured at the Jungfraujoch (JFJ) high-alpi
