Global indirect aerosol effects: a review (2004, unknown): “…is that most climate models suggest an increase in liquid water when adding anthropogenic aerosols, whereas newer ship track studies show that polluted marine water clouds can have less liquid water than clean clouds (Platnick et al., 2000; Coakley Jr. and Walsh, 2002; Ackerman et al., 2004).”
Mesoscale modeling of springtime Arctic mixed-phase stratiform clouds using a new two-moment bulk microphysics scheme (2005, background): “Most studies have focused on aerosol modification of the droplet population (e.g., Albrecht 1989; Coakley and Walsh 2002; Ghan et al. 2001; Rotstayn and Penner 2001; Feingold et al. 2003), but aerosol–ice interactions may also have a significant impact on ice- and mixed-phase clouds (e.”
Aerosol indirect effects in a multi-scale aerosol-climate model PNNL-MMF (2011, background): “, 2000; Coakley and Walsh, 2002; Kaufman et al., 2005; Matsui et al., 2006). Using a global CRM with on-line aerosols, Suzuki et al. (2008) also obtained a negative correlation between LWP and AI from an 8-day integration in July. The positive correlation between LWP and AOD/AI is attributed to clou”
Evaluation of the aerosol indirect effect in marine stratocumulus clouds : droplet number, size, liquid water path, and radiative impact (2005, background): “On the other hand, Coakley and Walsh [2002] surveyed a large area with satellite data and concluded that liquid water path was usually lower in ship tracks than in surrounding clouds.”
A New Double-Moment Microphysics Parameterization for Application in Cloud and Climate Models. Part I: Description (2005, background): “Most studies have focused on aerosol modification of the droplet population (e.g., Albrecht 1989; Coakley and Walsh 2002; Ghan et al. 2001; Penner and Rotstayn 2001; Feingold et al. 2003), but aerosol–ice interactions may also have a significant influence on ice and mixedphase clouds (DeMott et al”
Large-Eddy Simulations of a Drizzling, Stratocumulus-Topped Marine Boundary Layer (2009, background): “Despite expectations of decreased drizzle leading to increased cloud water, measurements of ship tracks— aerosol plumes within marine stratocumulus cloud decks—indicate that cloud water tends to decrease, if anything, rather than increase in clouds with higher droplet concentrations (Ackerman et al.”
Cancellation of Aerosol Indirect Effects in Marine Stratocumulus through Cloud Thinning (2007, background): “Second, the results may also rationalize satellite observations of ship tracks (Coakley and Walsh 2002) that imply that liquid water path frequently decreases in ship tracks compared with the surrounding cloud.”
Constraining cloud lifetime effects of aerosols using A‐Train satellite observations (2012, result): “The smaller l implied by the A-Train observations is consistent with ship track observations [e.g., Coakley and Walsh, 2002] and cloudresolving model studies [e.g., Ackerman et al., 2004].”
Large-Eddy Simulations of Trade Wind Cumuli: Investigation of Aerosol Indirect Effects (2006, background): “Observations show that LWP can increase, decrease, or remain approximately the same as the aerosol concentration increases (Platnick et al. 2000; Coakley and Walsh 2002; Han et al. 2002).”
Direct observational evidence linking atmospheric aerosol formation and cloud droplet activation (2005, background): “…of the Earth’s climate system is hindered seriously by the large uncertainties associated with the indirect effects by atmospheric aerosols [Coakley and Walsh, 2002; Menon et al., 2002; Brenguier et al., 2003; Sekiguchi et al., 2003; Lohmann and Feichter, 2005; Rotstayn and Liu, 2005;…”
Aerosol Indirect Effects on Tropical Convection Characteristics under Conditions of Radiative-Convective Equilibrium (2011, background): “2005), and observations have shown that not only can the LWP increase with enhanced aerosol concentrations, but it can also decrease or remain constant (Platnick et al. 2000; Coakley and Walsh 2002; Han et al. 2002).”
The impact of humidity above stratiform clouds on indirect aerosol climate forcing (2004, background): “Marine boundary-layer clouds polluted by aerosol particles, however, are not generally observed to hold more wate”
