Constraining the aerosol influence on cloud fraction (2016, background): “Errors in the retrieval of both cloud [Brennan et al., 2005] and aerosol properties [Zhang et al., 2005; Várnai and Marshak, 2009, 2011] can generate correlations between aerosol and cloud properties, which might be misinterpreted as an aerosol influence on clouds [Yuan et al., 2008].”
Review of Aerosol–Cloud Interactions: Mechanisms, Significance, and Challenges (2016, background): “…effects has been widely reported (Tao et al. 2012), even though giant CCN from sea salt may contribute to the formation of the D ow nloaded from http://journals.am etsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/JAS-D -16-0037.1 by guest on 10 O ctober 2020 embryonic rain drops (L’Ecuyer et al. 2009; Yuan et al. 2008).”
Severe haze in northern China: A synergy of anthropogenic emissions and atmospheric processes (2019, background): “By serving as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nucleating particles, aerosols influence the macro- and microphysical properties of clouds (27, 28).”
Implementation of a two‐moment bulk microphysics scheme to the WRF model to investigate aerosol‐cloud interaction (2008, background): “However, a recent study revealed that the cloud droplet effective radius may increase or decrease with aerosol loading, depending on ambient conditions [Yuan et al., 2008].”
