aerosol‐cloud interactionsAPRP methodeffective radiative forcingThe interaction of anthropogenic aerosols with radiation and clouds is the largest source of uncertainty in the radiative forcing of the climate during the industrial period. Here we apply novel techniques to diagnose the contributors to the ...

As solar radiation decreases further, condensation and, thus, the LWP increase, which leads to the presence of the surface precipitation. This stabilizes the entire MBL and thus prevents the interactions that cause the evaporation of rain to enhance the cloud-base instability. In cases with the ...
radiation back to space, thus exerting a negative climate forcing. This is known as the cloud albedo effect or the Twomey effect1. Although extensive investigations have been made to quantify the radiative forcing by aerosol–cloud interaction (RFaci), significant uncertainties remain on its ...
Our modeling expertise rests on decades of development of detailed cloud microphysics methods and our hallmark coupling of aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions in large eddy simulations (LES) that resolve the cloud motions and aerosol-cloud processes important to aerosol-cloud radiative forcing. Over the...

The susceptibility of cloud droplet number to cloud condensation nuclei number is one of the major factors controlling the highly uncertain change in the amount of solar radiation reflected by clouds when aerosol emissions are perturbed (the radiative forcing due to aerosol–cloud interactions). We in...
Compare these two cases; it can be seen that the aged aerosol distribution (from CLARIFY, CLoud–Aerosol–Radiation Interaction and Forcing campaign) is narrower in the case with cloud processing, as demonstrated by the lower fraction of larger particles (>200 nm). Therefore, the reduction of...
It then describes the aerosol and aerosol–cloud interaction processes at high latitudes and summarizes typical aerosol properties as well as their long-term trends. The chapter concludes by presenting our understanding of aerosol effects on high-latitude climate and the challenges associated with ...
