The scientific aim of the project is to study the mechanism of cloud formation right in the troposphere and in the stratosphere. The influence of anthropogenic aerosol is certain, but not in which amount. Many parameters compete and the Svensmark Theory, which studies the relationship with ionization and condensation, has recently been in the spotlight at the CERN of Geneva. We aim to find a scien
tific evidence to the theory by advanced in situ measurements of ionization, condensation rate and particles composition. The experiment should take place at Kiruna, in Northern Sweden, during October 2014, thanks to the Rexus/Bexus program. (http://www.rexusbexus.net/)
It is mainly supported by the Flight Mechanics Laboratory of the University of Bologna, through Prof. Fabrizio Giulietti and by the department of Chemistry of the University through Prof. Laura Tositti.
