Review of Aerosol–Cloud Interactions: Mechanisms, Significance, and Challenges (2016, background): “…et al. (2012) summarized a wide range of precipitation changes under different CCN concentrations, from 289% decrease in precipitation with a winter storm by elevating CCN 12 times (Teller and Levin 2006) to1700% increase in precipitation with a tropical storm by elevating CCN 15 times (Wang 2005).”
Implementation of a two‐moment bulk microphysics scheme to the WRF model to investigate aerosol‐cloud interaction (2008, methodology): “Convective Strength [41] The convective strength of the modeled cumulus is measured by the p-mean updraft and downdraft in a core area, defined by the absolute vertical wind speed greater than 1 m s 1 and total condensed water mixing ratio greater than 0.01 g kg 1 [Wang, 2005].”
Notes on state-of-the-art investigations of aerosol effects on precipitation: a critical review (2009, background): “…Altaratz et al 2008) studies report a decrease in precipitation in polluted clouds, in some other observations (Lin et al 2006) and numerical studies (Wang 2005, Van den Heever et al 2006, Lynn et al 2005a, 2005b, Fan et al 2007a, 2007b, Lee et al 2005, 2008, Khain et al 2008b, Martins et al…”
Development of an Effective Double-Moment Cloud Microphysics Scheme with Prognostic Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN) for Weather and Climate Models (2010, background): “Recognizing the importance of cloud–aerosol interaction in cloud microphysics and radiative properties (Ramanathan et al. 2001; Wang 2005; Khain et al. 2008), a prognostic treatment of CCN particles is introduced for the new scheme to activate cloud waters.”
Modeling Supersaturation and Subgrid-Scale Mixing with Two-Moment Bulk Warm Microphysics (2008, background): “These results put into question modeling studies that predict cloud droplet number concentration in deep convective clouds by attempting to resolve cloud-base activation using much lower vertical resolution, typically a few hundred meters (e.g., Khain et al. 2004; Wang 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].”
Aerosol Effects on Intensity of Landfalling Hurricanes as Seen from Simulations with the WRF Model with Spectral Bin Microphysics (2010, background): “In particular, it was found that small aerosols invigorate tropical convection, increasing vertical velocities and cloud top heights of deep convective clouds (Khain et al. 2004, 2005, 2008b; Koren et al. 2005; Lynn et al. 2005a,b; Wang 2005; Lee et al. 2008; Khain 2009).”
Aerosol Effects on Microstructure and Intensity of Tropical Cyclones (2012, result): “This hypothesis was supported by additional observations (Koren et al. 2005, 2010) and simulations (Wang 2005; Khain et al. 2008b).”
