The joint
NSF/DFG project ISOCLOUD investigates the water isotope fractionation by
combining AIDA cloud simulation experiments with process modelling studies. In
October 2012, the project partners achieved simulta- neous measurements of H2O,
HDO, and H2(18)O both in the gas phase and the condensed
phase. First results show the HDO fractionation to be in agreement with
Rayleigh distillation assumptions. In March 2013, further AIDA experiments are
planned to measure fractionation factors in cold cirrus clouds.
