Among the chemical and physical processes involved in the transformation
of pollutants between their sources and their ultimate deposition, those
associated with clouds, aerosols and precipitation must be rated as the
most difficult both to study and to understand. This book presents a
variety of recent advances in this field, including the properties and
composition of aerosol particles, chemical transformation and scavenging
processes, the relationship between liquid-phase chemistry and cloud
micro-physics, entrainment, evaporation and deposition, trends in high
Alpine pollution, transport processes, and developments in
instrumentation. This book is Volume 5 in the ten-volume series on
Transport and Chemical Transformation of Pollutants in the Troposphere.
