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].”
Global observations of aerosol‐cloud‐precipitation‐climate interactions (2014, background): “…before the above challenges can be properly addressed, we have to overcome the low skill of current satellite sensors in observing cloud and aerosol properties simultaneously, as well as deal with aerosol retrieval artifacts in the vicinity of clouds [Várnai and Marshak, 2009; Várnai et al., 2012].”
Constraining the aerosol influence on cloud liquid water path (2018, background): “The key difficulty in interpreting observed aerosol–cloud relationships is separating the causal impact of aerosols (the change in LWP caused by an aerosol perturbation) from the confounding role of local meteorology (e.g. Quaas et al., 2010) and retrieval errors (e.g. Várnai and Marshak, 2009).”
