- An outline is presented here of the Po Valley Fog Experiment 1989, carried out within the EUROTRAC‐GCE project. This experiment is a joint effort by several European research groups from 5 countries. The physical and chemical behaviour of the fog multiphase system was studied experimentally following the temporal evolution of the relevant chemical species in the different phases (gas, droplet, interstitial aerosol) and the evolution of micrometeorological and microphysical conditions, from the pre‐fog situation through the whole fog evolution, to the post‐fog period. Some general results, useful for describing the general features of the fog system, are presented here, while specific scientific questions on the different processes taking place within the system itself will be addressed in other companion papers of this same issue.

- A unipolar diffusion charger with minimal particle losses in the ultrafine size range has been developed. This charger uses two radioactive α-sources to produce ions which are drawn into the charging region by an alternating electric field. The aerosol flow in the centre of the charging region is surrounded by a particle-free sheath air flow to prevent particle losses. Charged aerosol particles move in a "zigzag" manner in the charging channel under the influence of the alternating electric field. Positive gas ions, with higher electrical mobilities than ultrafine aerosol particles, homogeneously fill the entire charging region. Here, the aerosol becomes unipolarly charged. The charging efficiency is strongly dependent on the residence time of the particles in the ion cloud. The ion current was measured in the charging region to determine the ion concentration. The residence time of the particles in the ion cloud was calculated for each stream line of the aerosol flow. The losses of ultrafine particles in the charger were experimentally determined. The unipolar charge distribution was measured and calculated by integrating the theoretical charge distribution over all stream lines of the aerosol flow.
