Aerosols and Clouds

The Aerosols and Clouds research group studies the indirect climate effects of aerosol particles: the role of aerosols in cloud formation, aerosol-cloud processes, and the microphysical properties of clouds. The group conducts field and laboratory measurements as well as develops computational modeling methods. A key area of field activities is the development and use of UAV measurement systems, along with ground-based remote sensing measurements. The group maintains and develops the Cloudnet data portal related to the ACTRIS research infrastructure and is responsible for FMI’s cloud remote sensing measurements for ACTRIS.
