Abstract

Clouds are ubiquitous in the Earth’s atmosphere. They are important for a multitude of reasons. By intervening with the radiation and energy budget of our planet clouds play a major role in climate and global change (Kiehl and Trenberth 1997; Quante 2004). Furthermore, they possess a key role in the global and regional water cycles (Quante and Matthias 2006). Besides these prominent influences on weather, climate and water availability, clouds are involved in several ways in the distribution and transformation of pollutants in the atmosphere. That clouds play an active role in the processing and cycling of atmospheric substances has long been recognized.
