Short summary
Atmospheric reactions can change the color of particles; this has implications for global climate. We present evidence of pyrazine compounds in cloud water mimics. We measured changes in brownness and composition during evaporation and acidity changes to understand the importance of the new compounds because the reactions parallel browning in foods. Drying favors browning and pyrazine formation, while acidity favors only pyrazine formation. Even acidic cloud water, when dried, produce pyrazines.
