The Chisholm firestorm: observed microstructure, precipitation and lightning activity of a pyro-cumulonimbus (2006, background): “This preserves much cloud water to be lifted to heights where it becomes highly supercooled and available for the formation of large hailstones (Andreae et al., 2004).”
Investigating cloud absorption effects: Global absorption properties of black carbon, tar balls, and soil dust in clouds and aerosols (2012, background): “absorbing aerosol warming by the rainout effect [Jacobson, 2002a; Andreae et al., 2004; Ramanathan and Ramana, 2005].”
A modeling study of the response of tropical deep convection to the increase of cloud condensation nuclei concentration: 1. Dynamics and microphysics (2005, background): “ Andreae et al. [2004] have recently suggested that the increase of aerosol concentration could lead to elevating the glaciation level where large ice particles were formed.”
Interactions among Amazon land use, forests and climate: prospects for a near-term forest tipping point (2008, background): “On the shortest time scale, fire itself can inhibit rainfall by liberating large amounts of particulate matter into the atmosphere, providing an excess of condensation nuclei (Andreae et al. 2004).”
The atmospheric global electric circuit : An overview (2007, background): “Measurements of Andreae et al. (2004) suggested that aerosols enhance the convection process.”
The aerosol-climate model ECHAM5-HAM (2004, background): “Based on AERONET AOD statistics, the discrepancy in South America is attributed to retrieval error resulting in an AOD overestimate, which also contradicts the expected clean “green ocean” regime with low optical depths over Amazonia (Andreae et al., 2004).”
The global lightning-induced nitrogen oxides source (2007, background): “Differing aerosol concentrations have also been proposed as a factor on the observed land-ocean contrasts ( " aerosol hypothesis " ) (Takahashi, 1984; Moliní e and Pontikis , 1995; Rosenfeld and Lensky, 1998; Steiger et al., 2002; Williams et al., 2002; Andreae et al., 2004).”
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.”
Aerosol-induced changes of convective cloud anvils produce strong climate warming (2010, background): “, 2005), North and South America (Andreae et al., 2004; Koren et al., 2008a; Lindsey and Fromm, 2008), and appear for all types of aerosol particles: biomass burning smoke, urban/industrial aerosol and desert dust.”
What Limits Trees in C4 Grasslands and Savannas (2008, background): “Black aerosols alter energy budgets and reduce the size of cloud droplets causing precipitation to be less frequent but more intense (Andreae et al. 2004, Koren et al. 2004), while savanna fires are important sources of NOx which influences tropospheric ozone formation (Hobbs et al. 2003).”
Biogeography in the air: fungal diversity over land and oceans (2011, positive): “…(Christner et al., 2008; Bowers et al., 2009, Pratt et al., 2009; Prenni et al., 2009), then the lower proportion of BMC in marine air may be an important difference between the “blue ocean” and “green ocean” regimes of cloud formation and precipitation (Andreae et al., 2004; P¨oschl et al., 2010).”
