This article discusses some of the challenges that have limited progress in quantifying the
radiative forcing associated with aerosol–cloud interactions (ACI) in warm (liquid-water) …

In the atmosphere, microphysics refers to the microscale processes that affect cloud and
precipitation particles and is a key linkage among the various components of Earth's …

The effect of an increase in atmospheric aerosol concentrations on the distribution and
radiative properties of Earth's clouds is the most uncertain component of the overall global …

The development of parameterizations is a major task in the development of weather and
climate models. Model improvement has been slow in the past decades, due to the difficulty …

Changes in aerosols cause a change in net top-of-the-atmosphere (ToA) short-wave and
long-wave radiative fluxes; rapid adjustments in clouds, water vapour and temperature; and …

The radiative forcing caused by a volcanic eruption is dependent on several eruption source
parameters such as the mass of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emitted, the eruption column height …

Changes induced by perturbed aerosol conditions in moderately deep mixed-phase
convective clouds (cloud top height∼ 5 km) developing along sea-breeze convergence …

We investigate historical and projected precipitation in Tanzania using observational and
climate model data. Precipitation in Tanzania is highly variable in both space and time due …

Convective cloud systems in the maritime tropics play a critical role in global climate, but
accurately representing aerosol interactions within these clouds persists as a major …

The low air pressure and density over the Tibetan Plateau may have an impact on the
microphysical features of rainfall. Using a two-dimensional video disdrometer (2DVD), a …
