Artificial Cloud Experiment Systems (ACES) in a vertical shaft of a mine were established at a coal mine in Kami-sunagawa, Hokkaido then at an iron mine in Kamaishi, Iwate. Updraft of air by electric fans induced the adiabatic expansion of air that resulted in generation of artificial clouds. We conducted basic measurements of temperature profiles, updraft air velocity, size distribution of droplets, etc. and investigated the dissolution of SO2 into cloud droplets, the oxidation of sulfite to sulfate, and the flux of droplet deposition onto trees using the stable cloud in ACES. Recent improvements of experimental conditions allowed for precise experiments in studying the influence of aerosol properties on the cloud properties which is the key process of indirect radiative forcing by aerosol particles.
