OceANIC – Aerosol Ageing and Interactions with Radiation and Clouds 

Microscopic particles, termed aerosols, are everywhere in our atmosphere and play a crucial role for the climate. This project strives to assess the changes in the particles’ optical properties during their lifetime in the atmosphere and implications for cloud formation. The Oceanic project will particularly scrutinize marine particles that make up the largest natural aerosol mass globally. The grant will allow the recruitment of two PhD students, one postdoc and purchasing of new equipment.
