Abstract
During the last years our knowledge about the physico-chemical properties of atmospheric aerosol particles has increased so much (Hänel 1976, Hänel and Lehmann 1981) that at present enough information is available allowing reliable meteorological applications. In this paper two processes, the settlement of particles through the atmosphere under the influence of gravity and the activation of particles in fog and clouds, are considered.
