Aerosols interact with radiation and clouds. Substantial progress made over the past 40
years in observing, understanding, and modeling these processes helped quantify the …

Aerosol–cloud interactions (ACIs) are considered to be the most uncertain driver of present-
day radiative forcing due to human activities. The nonlinearity of cloud-state changes to …

Review of Aerosol–Cloud Interactions: Mechanisms, Significance, and Challenges in: Journal
of the Atmospheric Sciences Volume 73 Issue 11 (2016) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is the deliberate injection of aerosol particles into shallow
marine clouds to increase their reflection of solar radiation and reduce the amount of energy …

The stratocumulus to cumulus transition (SCT) is typically considered to be a slow, multiday
process, caused primarily by dry air entrainment associated with overshooting cumulus, with …

We explore the role of intermittent aerosol forcing (eg, injections associated with marine
cloud brightening) in the stratocumulus-to-cumulus transition (SCT). We simulate a 3 d …

Marine cloud brightening (MCB) has been proposed as a viable way to counteract global
warming by artificially increasing the albedo and lifetime of clouds via deliberate seeding of …

Stratocumulus occur in closed-or open-cell states, which tend to be associated with high or
low cloud cover and the absence or presence of precipitation, respectively. Thus, the …

The response of cloud processes to an aerosol perturbation is one of the largest
uncertainties in the anthropogenic forcing of the climate. It occurs at a variety of timescales …

The topic of cloud radiative forcing associated with the atmospheric aerosol has been the
focus of intense scrutiny for decades. The enormity of the problem is reflected in the need to …
