| Summary: | Knowledge about aerosol cloud-mediated processes is important for judging climate change in Europe during recent decades. Here, some observational evidence for anthropogenic influences is described and discussed. The emphasis is laid on the effects of the large emissions of sulphur dioxide and particulate matter during the 1980s in Europe and the subsequent strong decrease in the 1990s. In addition, an analysis of the dependence of aerosol cloud-mediated processes on atmospheric circulation patterns (Grosswetterlagen) is presented. |
