CLARA: ECN contribution


Aims of the ECN with respect to the CLARA project:

  1. Assesment of the influence of anthropogenic aerosol on the number of cloud droplets ("indirect" aerosol radiative forcing effect on climate)
  2. Aircraft flights with a Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe and additional instruments in order to characterize the micro-physics of the actual clouds.
  3. Study of cloud activation of ambient aerosol in the ECN cloud chamber on cloudy versus clear-sky days.
The following ECN people are involved in the CLARA (addres):
