Constraining the aerosol influence on cloud liquid water path (2018, result): “This is consistent with previous work, where an increase in cloud albedo is found in response to a change in aerosol (Lebsock et al., 2008; Chen et al., 2014; Christensen et al., 2016), such that a LWP reduction cannot completely offset the RFaci.”
The scale problem in quantifying aerosol indirect effects (2011, methodology): “Both ground- and spacebased observations including active and passive remote sensing can contribute to building such distributions and can provide added dimensionality to the data (e.g., precipitating vs. non-precipitating conditions; Lebsock et al., 2008).”
CloudSat mission: Performance and early science after the first year of operation (2008, background): “In particular, the liquid water path of clouds W also varies with changing aerosol amount [e.g., Lebsock et al., 2008; Albrecht, 1989].”
Total aerosol effect: radiative forcing or radiative flux perturbation? (2009, background): “…Dufresne et al. (2005), Ming et al.

(2008), Lebsock et al.(2008), Wang and Penner(2009), Storelvmo et al.(2009), Rotstayn and Liu(2009), Haerter et al.(2009)”
Satellite-based estimate of global aerosol-cloud radiative forcing by marine warm clouds (2014, methodology): “Lebsock et al. (2008) also estimated the first aerosol indirect effect for oceanic warm clouds using A-Train satellite observations.”
On the precipitation susceptibility of clouds to aerosol perturbations (2009, methodology): “[9] The screening methodology used to obtain the aerosol, cloud, and precipitation data is described extensively elsewhere [Lebsock et al., 2008].”
Global observations of aerosol‐cloud‐precipitation‐climate interactions (2014, background): “…often smaller droplet radii due to larger amounts of aerosols are associated with smaller liquid water path, which reduces the cloud albedo [e.g., Lebsock et al., 2008], so that the impact of cloud-mediated aerosol radiative forcing at the cloud system scale may be smaller than what individual…”
Modeling Aerosol Impacts on Convective Storms in Different Environments (2009, background): “cases (e.g., Khain et al. 1999, 2005; Phillips et al. 2002; Andreae et al. 2004; Cohen and McCaul 2006; Lin et al. 2006; van den Heever et al. 2006; van den Heever and Cotton 2007; Lebsock et al. 2008) to result in an increase in liquid water path (LWP) and in cloud lifetime.”
