Objective MAN-MADE AEROSOL PARTICLES EITHER DIRECTLY INTO OUR FORMED WITHIN THE ATMOSPHERE BY GAS-TO-PARTICLE CONVERSIONS AFFECT THE RADIATIVE PROPERTIES OF CLEAR AND CLOUDY AREAS AND THUS INFLUENCE CLIMATE. IN A TWO-DIMENSIONAL (VERTICAL AND LATITUDINAL RESOLUTION), GLOBAL MODEL THE STEADY STATE CONCENTRATION OF AEROSOL PARTICLES DEPENDING ON SOURCES AND SINKS OF PARTICLES WILL BE CALCULATED. THIS GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION IN TURN IS USED TO DERIVE THE RADIATIVE PROPERTIES OF THE ATMOSPHERE WITH SPECIAL ACCOUNT FOR THE INFLUENCE OF AEROSOL PARTICLES ON THE MICROPHYSICS OF CLOUDS. FROM THE RADIATIVE TRANSFER CALCULATIONS POSSIBLE GLOBAL ALBEDO CHANGES WILL BE DETERMINED AND COMPARED TO OTHER POSSIBLE MANMADE CLIMATE PERTURBATION AS FOR EXAMPLE THE CO2 INCREASE.
