    Aerosol and Cloud Chemistry
(J. Schneider)
 
This research group is part of the Particle Chemistry Department (headed by Prof. Dr. Stephan Borrmann), which is a joint facility of the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry and the University of Mainz (Institute for Atmospheric Physics). This department was founded in 2001, originally named "Cloud Physics and Chemistry" and re-named in 2005.
 
The main scientific interest of the Aerosol and Cloud Chemistry group is the in-situ measurement of the chemical composition of atmospheric aerosol and cloud particles. We use various types of aerosol instruments, but the instrument that we are mainly working with is the Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS), an instrument which is designed for the quantitative measurement of the chemical composition of aerosol particles with diameters between 50 and 1000 nm. With this instrument, several projects, including aircraft-based and ground-based field projects as well as lab studies have been carried out since 2001.
