The aim of this research was a better understanding of aerosol particles and their roles in the climate system.
The researchers studied sources and sinks, transport and transformation processes and their interactions with clouds and climate. This was done through long-term measurements at three locations (the Zeppelin station in Svalbard, Aspvreten in Sweden, and Pico Espejo in Venezuela), and by detailed spatial observations using aircraft platforms deployed from locations from pole to pole.
