CLOUD-MOTION: CLOUD Mobility, Training and Innovation Network The aim of CLOUD-MOTION is to establish a network of early stage researchers at 10 institutions across Europe. The role of aerosol nucleation for atmospheric aerosol, clouds and climate is investigated. A focus of the investigations is on a considerably improved understanding of pre-industrial aerosol concentration levels, which are crucial for an assessment of the climate forcing exerted by present-day aerosols. For this, the influence of Extremely Low Volatility Organic Compounds (ELVOCs) together with ions for aerosol nucleation without sulphuric acid is studied (“pre-industrial ELVOC nucleation”). Furthermore, the nucleation and initial growth induced by oxidation products from anthropogenic emissions of organic vapours (“anthropogenic ELVOC nucleation”) is studied, as well as the formation of ice on glassy Secondary Organic Aerosol acting as Ice Nucleating Particles (“glassy SOA as INP”).
