2364 Christiane Helling Characterising weather and climate regimes in cloud-forming gaseous exoplanets A two-stage modelling process is applied where 3D general circulation model results are utilised as input to calculate the details of the cloud and gas composition and their global distributions. The model calculates the formation rate of mineral cloud particles (nucleation), their growth to macroscopic particles by gas-surface reactions forming up to 16 mineral materials, their gravitational settling and their feedback onto the gas phase by element depletion or enrichment. The cloud particle are resulting to be made of a mix of materials that grow or evaporate according to the local thermodynamic conditions in the atmosphere. The specific composition and the size of the cloud particles change throughout the atmosphere and, therefore, vary globally. The feedback onto the element abundances affects the local C/O ration, but also element ratios that involve all elements affected by cloud formation (for example Mg, Si, Fe, Ti, Al). Ongoing in-depth studies of the individual processes, for example of the nucleation (see Sindel et al., Lecoq Molinos et al.; poster #876), particle-particle processes (see Samra et al.; poster #773) as well as the charging of cloud particles by high-energy radiation (see Bach-Moeller et al.; poster #1614) will enable further model refinements and the respective insight into observational data.
