<b><i><span style="margin:0px;font-size:11pt">The Finnish Meteorological Institute is a service and research institute that produces high-quality observational data and research findings on the atmosphere and seas. The Institute uses its expertise to provide
services that promote public safety and enhance well-being among people and in the environment. FMI’s experienced international staff has a broad expertise on atmospheric, oceanic and carbon cycle processes in the Earth System. Together with the Universities
of Helsinki, Tampere and Eastern Finland, FMI belongs to a National Flagship, a world leading atmospheric aerosol research unit. </span></i></b></p>

<span style="margin:0px;font-size:11pt">Aerosols (microscopic particles suspended in air) affect climate by scattering and absorbing solar and terrestrial radiation, and altering the brightness, lifetime, and structure of clouds. Aerosol interactions with climate
are very complex, and climate models are needed to calculate their overall effect. </span></p>
