Sensitivity of WRF cloud microphysics to simulations of a severe thunderstorm event over Southeast India (2010, background): “A recent study (Khain et al., 2005) addressed this important issue, in which the mechanisms through which atmospheric aerosols affect cloud microphysics, dynamics and precipitation are investigated.”
Notes on state-of-the-art investigations of aerosol effects on precipitation: a critical review (2009, methodology): “As an example of deep convective clouds typical of maritime tropical conditions we use those observed during Experiment GATE-74, 261 day (hereafter, M clouds) (Warner et al 1980, Ferrier and Houze 1989, Khain et al 2005).”
Review of Aerosol–Cloud Interactions: Mechanisms, Significance, and Challenges (2016, background): “…Rosenfeld et al. 2014a; Fan et al. 2012b) and weak wind shear where convection is nearly vertical and the increase of latent heating can dominate over the increase of evaporative cooling (Fan et al. 2009, 2012b, 2013; Li et al. 2008b; Khain et al. 2005, 2008b; Tao et al. 2007; Lebo et al. 2012).”
Global observations of aerosol‐cloud‐precipitation‐climate interactions (2014, background): “For clouds with warm bases and moderate wind shear, this can lead to a transition from unorganized convection to squall lines [Khain et al., 2005].”
Aerosol Effects on Microstructure and Intensity of Tropical Cyclones (2012, background): “Simulations show that the invigoration also enhances the downdraft and low-level evaporative cooling (Khain et al. 2005; van den Heever et al. 2006; van den Heever and Cotton 2007; Lee 2011).”
Aerosol cloud precipitation interactions. Part 1. The nature and sources of cloud-active aerosols (2008, background): “lead to greater convective overturning, more precipitation, and deeper depletion of the static instability (Khain et al., 2005; Rosenfeld, 2006).”
Representation of microphysical processes in cloud‐resolving models: Spectral (bin) microphysics versus bulk parameterization (2015, background): “…of aerosols on radiation, precipitation, and other atmospheric features at a wide range of scales, from that of single cloud to global scales [Khain et al., 2005; van den Heever et al., 2006; Levin and Cotton 2007; Rosenfeld et al., 2008; Khain, 2009; van den Heever et al., 2011; Tao et al.,…”
The dependence of aerosol effects on clouds and precipitation on cloud‐system organization, shear and stability (2008, methodology): “Moreover, larger evaporation and stronger near-surface convergence for precipitation enhancement at high aerosol simulated in the cases of high CAPE and strong wind shear were also simulated by recent bin-model studies [Lynn et al., 2005; Khain et al., 2005].”
Aerosol-cloud-precipitation effects over Germany as simulated by a convective-scale numerical weather prediction model (2011, background): “The additional latent heat release invigorates the clouds resulting in an increase in surface precipitation (Seifert and 15 Beheng, 2006b; Khain et al., 2005; Koren et al., 2005; van den Heever et al., 2006; Fan et al., 2009).”
Aerosol-cloud interaction inferred from MODIS satellite data and global aerosol models (2006, background): “…1989; Rosenfeld, 1999, 2000), the cloud lifetime increases and the clouds can evolve to an increased cloud top height (Andreae et al., 2004; Khain et al., 2005; Williams et al., 2002; Rosenfeld, 2006) with an increased LWP. Aerosols may thus lead to an increase in cloud optical thickness…”
