Aerosols are a critical factor in the atmospheric hydrological cycle and radiation budget. As a
major agent for clouds to form and a significant attenuator of solar radiation, aerosols affect …

Fast growth of air pollution was experienced in China during the past decades, resulting in
extremely large aerosol radiative forcing with up to ten times high compared to the global …

The formation of ice particles in the atmosphere strongly affects cloud properties and the
climate. While mineral dust is known to be an effective ice nucleating particle, the role of …

Using six flights observations in September 2015 over Hebei, China, this study shows a
robust negative aerosol‐cloud droplet effective radius (re) relationship for liquid clouds …

Abstract Representation of clouds remains as the largest uncertainty in future climate
predictions. Numerous studies have found and investigated the impacts of aerosols on cloud …

Using 15‐year observations obtained from the Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board both NASA Terra and Aqua from March 2003 to …

Abstract Using eight years (2006–2014) of passive (MODIS/Aqua and OMI/Aura) and active
(CALIOP/CALIPSO) satellite measurements of aerosols, we yield a three-dimensional (3D) …

Atmospheric aerosols influence the earth's radiative balance directly through scattering and
absorbing solar radiation, and indirectly through affecting cloud properties. An …

Representing large-scale co-variability between variables related to aerosols, clouds and
radiation is one of many aspects of agreement with observations desirable for a climate …

This paper presents results from 240-member ensemble simulations of aerosol indirect
effects on tropical deep convection and its thermodynamic environment. Simulations using a …
