Short summary
This study provides the first chemical and microbiological characterization of cloud samples collected at Mt. Cimone (acronym CMN in ACTRIS, ICOS and GAW) in the Mediterranean basin. The chemical characterization is deeply discussed in relationship with back-trajectories and cloud processing. Air mass history do not fully explain the variability observed in the chemical composition. This highlights the complexity of emission sources, multiphasique exchanges, and transformations in clouds.
