Abstract: The article discusses a research study which introduces the new aerosol microphysics submodel MADE-IN with the ECHAM5/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry global model (EMAC). The said approach describes three classes of particles and predicts the size distribution and chemical composition of these classes. Findings reveal that the model is an efficient tool for the study of concentration and composition of potential atmospheric ice nuclei.
