This work deals with the development of mixed phase cloud microphysics in the frame of a multiphase cloud chemistry model (Leriche et al., 2001). The coupled model is then applied to evaluate the role of this type of clouds on atmospheric species concentrations. Clouds are good transport vectors for pollutants, they scavenge them through precipitation and they also host complex chemical reactions. Through the parameterization of pollutants partition among the various cloud phases via riming, crystal growth by vapour deposition, melting and collection processes, the importance of ice phase and of crystal habit for the cloud chemical composition is demonstrated. Various air masses are simulated to form the clouds to assess the influence of cl...
