11. sky analysis analyse in situ chemical composition of aerosols/waters new compounds, radicals, nonequilibrium partitioning of sparingly soluble compounds search for: map the distribution of a trace compound, say isoprene, and its descendants along trajectories starting from emission sources validate modeling of atmopheric chemistry 1 st COPAL-Poland Seminar, Warsaw 2008

12. in the sky true in situ atmospheric experiments 1 st COPAL-Poland Seminar, Warsaw 2008 disturb the atmosphere locally e.g. inject some components into a cloud return to analyse what happened and follow the changes along trajectories... naive ? thank attention you for
