An overview on recent developments in tropospheric multiphase chemistry studies is given. First, recent laser-
based time-resolved studies of radical reaction kinetics in aqueous solution are described where reactions of the
hydroxyl and nitrate radical with organic particle phase constituents have been investigated. Such measurements
form the basis for the development of chemical mechanisms and the current state of the Chemical Aqueous
Phase Radical Mechanism (CAPRAM) is being reviewed. Field experiments on aerosol-cloud-interaction have
been performed at the Schmücke measurement site in the Thuringian Forest in Germany and results from these
campaigns are being compared to model results. To conclude, currently open questions and possible further
developments are discussed.
