Open AccessEffect of endogenous microbiota on the molecular composition of cloud water: a study by Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS)
A cloud water sample collected at the puy de Dôme observatory (PUY) has been incubated under dark conditions, with its endogenous microbiota at two different temperatures (5 and 15 °C), and the change in the m...

Open AccessMetatranscriptomic exploration of microbial functioning in clouds
Clouds constitute the uppermost layer of the biosphere. They host diverse communities whose functioning remains obscure, although biological activity potentially participates to atmospheric chemical and physic...

Clouds: A Transient and Stressing Habitat for Microorganisms
In this chapter, we synthesized the current knowledge about clouds as ecosystems which have been discovered very recently. First, we briefly described the cloud habitat. Cloud physics chemistry and microphysic...

Open AccessImproving the characterization of dissolved organic carbon in cloud water: Amino acids and their impact on the oxidant capacity
Improving our understanding of cloud chemistry depends on achieving better chemical characterization (90% of the organic carbon [OC] fraction remains uncharacterized) and, consequently, assessing the reactivit...

Regional Modeling of Aerosol Chemical Composition at the Puy de Dôme (France)
Organic aerosols (OA) represent a large fraction (from 20 to 90 %) of the submicron particulate mass and it is mainly composed of secondary organic aerosols (SOA). Despite the ubiquity of OA in the atmosphere,...

Modeling Seasonal Changes in Organic Aerosol Composition at the puy de Dôme (France)
In the atmosphere, a significant fraction of organic aerosol (OA) makes up the particulate matter. Since OA consists of thousands of complex molecules, uncertainties remain concerning their sources and atmosph...

Impact of Aerosol Properties on Cloud and Precipitation Formation
Clouds droplets are directly dependent on aerosols that are present in the atmosphere and on their probabilities to act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). So, it is necessary to study aerosols distributions n...

Numerical quantification of sources and phase partitioning of chemical species in cloud: application to wintertime anthropogenic air masses at the Puy de Dôme station
The Model of Multiphase Cloud Chemistry M2C2 has recently been extended to account for nucleation scavenging of aerosol particles in the cloud water chemical composition. This extended version has been applied...
