CATALYSTS. “Clouds are a very special subset of the atmosphere because they present substantial amounts of condensed-phase water (liquid or solid) that can dissolve gases that would otherwise be present in the gas phase, and, as a consequence of condensed-phase reactions, permit reactions to occur that would not otherwise occur or would be much slower. In this sense “clouds may be considered to serve as catalysts of atmospheric reactions.”
