Aerosols play a major rule in global warming thought the direct and indirect aerosol effect. Thus, a better understanding of aerosol related properties and processes is crucial to improve climate models. During April (Kiruna, Sweden) and July (Kangerlussuaq, Greenland) 2008, the POLARCAT project, pa...
