Tracegases in the atomsphere
Sources and sinks of tracegases
Gaseous and particulate trace constituents effect the earth's radiative budget and therefore climate. Concerning trace gases the directly effective greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and dinitrogen oxide (N2O), and those having an indirect influence on climate, as carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2), are distinguished.

Interaction of particles with clouds
Clouds play an important role in the radiation balance of the atmosphere and the climate modifications resulting from human activities. Due to the complexity of the formation processes and the microphysical properties in particular of thin ice clouds their contribution to the greenhouse effect is still not well known.

Water vapour and ozone in the atmosphere
Identification, explanation and quantification of variations of climate relevant atmospheric trace gases, in particular ozone and water vapour, but also of UV radiation and climate, are central tasks of atmospheric research.
