Abstract

Modelling of Aerosol Dynamics with MADE: Cloud Contributions A contribution to subproject AEROSOL R.K. Meyer', I.J Ackermamf, H Hass^ and A Ebel* ' EURAD-Project, Institute for Geophysics and Meteorology, University of Cologne, AachenerStr. 201-209, 50931 Cologne, Germany Ford Research Centre Aachen, Atmospheric Science, Germany Paniculate matter suspended in the atmosphere has a significant relevance for numerous atmospheric processes. Hence, comprehensive modelling of regional air pollutant dispersion is not possible without consideration of atmospheric aerosols. There are strong interactions between aerosols, clouds and climate. In this study we will focus on clouds and aerosols. Clouds can have strong effects on the long-range transport and the transformation of certain atmospheric pollutants. Vertical redistribution, radiative effects, aqueous reactions and scavenging effects should be
