Aerosol Effects on Microstructure and Intensity of Tropical Cyclones (2012, background): “This hypothesis was supported by additional observations (Koren et al. 2005, 2010) and simulations (Wang 2005; Khain et al. 2008b).”
Aerosol indirect effects – general circulation model intercomparison and evaluation with satellite data (2009, background): “In convective clouds, the smaller cloud droplets freeze at higher altitudes above cloud base, releasing latent heat higher up in the atmosphere, potentially invigorating updrafts (Devasthale et al., 2005; Koren et al., 2005).”
Observational evidence of aerosol enhancement of lightning activity and convective invigoration (2011, methodology): “Indeed this hypothesis is supported by modeling and observational evidence that suggests aerosols play an important role in regulating convective strength [Andreae et al., 2004; Koren et al., 2005; Wang, 2005; Zhang et al., 2007].”
The invigoration of deep convective clouds over the Atlantic: aerosol effect, meteorology or retrieval artifact? (2010, background): “It has been suggested that clouds growing in polluted environments are characterized by more vigorous convection owing to a combination of suppression of early rainout of the cloud and its attendant stabilization, together with suppression of freezing, and the eventual release of latent heat at high”
Constraining the aerosol influence on cloud liquid water path (2018, methodology): “The co-variation in aerosol and cloud properties in the present-day atmosphere has been used to infer the impact of aerosols on cloud properties (e.g. Sekiguchi et al., 2003; Kaufman et al., 2005; Koren et al., 2005).”
Lightning enhancement over major oceanic shipping lanes (2017, methodology): “The above microphysical effect, known as aerosol convective invigoration [Koren et al., 2005], results in a potential sensitivity of lightning and storm vertical development to human activities, which have perturbed CCN concentrations on regional and global scales [Boucher and Lohmann, 1995; Pierce ”
Aerosol-cloud interaction inferred from MODIS satellite data and global aerosol models (2006, background): “Some studies show a strong increase in cloud fraction as a function of AOD based on satellite data (Kaufman et al., 2005a; Koren et al., 2005; Rosenfeld et al., 2006; Sekiguchi et al., 2003).”
Constraining the aerosol influence on cloud fraction (2016, methodology): “If a good model exists for the influence of M on the CF and AOD, then its influence could be accounted for with sufficiently accurate measurements of M. Multiple regression [Kaufman et al., 2003] or stratification by M [Koren et al., 2005] could be then used to remove the influence of M.”
Impact of three‐dimensional radiative effects on satellite retrievals of cloud droplet sizes (2006, background): “[4] A growing number of studies on indirect aerosol effects use observed relationships between aerosol amounts and cloud properties such as cloud cover, cloud height and cloud particle size [e.g., Rosenfeld and Feingold, 2003; Kaufman et al., 2005; Koren et al., 2005 ].”
Aerosol-induced changes of convective cloud anvils produce strong climate warming (2010, background): “Jenkins, G. S., Pratt, A. S., and Heymsfield, A.: Possible linkages between Saharan dust and tropical cyclone rain band invigoration in the Eastern Atlantic during NAMMA-06, Geophys.”
Aerosol Effects on Intensity of Landfalling Hurricanes as Seen from Simulations with the WRF Model with Spectral Bin Microphysics (2010, background): “The increase in cloud-top height within polluted air was observed from satellites (Koren et al. 2005) and simulated in many recent studies dedicated to aerosol effects on cloud dynamics (see review by Khain 2009). c. Aerosol effects on lightning in TC As discussed above, Khain et al. (2008a)…”
Global observations of aerosol‐cloud‐precipitation‐climate interactions (2014, background): “…convective storms [Rosenfeld and Bell, 2011] and from satellite observations that statistically relate satellite-observed cloud tops becoming higher and more expansive with increasing aerosol loading, which usually is quantified by the aerosol optical depth [Koren et al., 2005, 2008a, 2010a, 2012].”
Cosmic Rays and Climate (2005, methodology): “A strong connection between aerosol loading and cloud properties has been demonstrated both for shallow [148] and deep convective [149] clouds, using data from the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer satellite, MODIS [150].”
Aerosol-cloud-precipitation effects over Germany as simulated by a convective-scale numerical weather prediction model (2011, unknown): “increase in surface precipitation (Seifert and Beheng, 2006b; Khain et al., 2005; Koren et al., 2005; van den Heever et al., 2006; Fan et al., 2009).”
Notes on state-of-the-art investigations of aerosol effects on precipitation: a critical review (2009, background): “…that is sometimes accompanied by the increase in the cloud top height has been reported in many recent observational and numerical studies (Koren et al 2005, Khain et al 2003, 2005, 2008b, 2008a, Lynn et al 2005a, 2005b, Van den Heever et al 2006, Fan et al 2007a, 2007b, Lee et al 2005,…”
