Ion clusters can be formed in the laboratory by either of two basic methods. One involves the generation of primary ions, followed by the clustering of neutrals onto these ions, while the second commences with the formation of neutral clusters which are subsequently ionized. Through both approaches, requisite thermochemical and reaction rate data are being acquired which are enabling a more complete understanding of the nature and processes of the middle atmosphere including its composition, electrical conductivity, and aerosol formation mechanisms. Laboratory methods and measurements concerning the formation, structure, and stability of small clusters are reviewed, with emphasis on the manner in which these results can be and have been applied to problems related to the middle atmosphere.
