A modeling study of the response of tropical deep convection to the increase of cloud condensation nuclei concentration: 1. Dynamics and microphysics (2005, background): “Rosenfeld [1999, 2000] suggested that the Twomey effect also exists in (not very deep) convective clouds and, quite interestingly, the increase of aerosols due to air pollutant could suppress precipitation of these clouds.”
Heterogeneous nucleation of ice on surrogates of mineral dust (2006, background): “In addition, aerosol particles modify the radiative properties of clouds by acting as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN) [Penner, 2001; Twomey, 1974, 1991; Albrecht, 1989; Pincus and Baker, 1994; Baker, 1997; Rosenfeld, 2000; Ramanathan et al., 2001; Pruppacher and Klett, 1997].”
Global indirect aerosol effects: a review (2004, neutral): “Also, satellite data revealed plumes of reduced cloud particle size and suppressed precipitation originating from some major urban areas and from industrial facilities such as power plants (Rosenfeld, 2000).”
Aerosol-induced changes of convective cloud anvils produce strong climate warming (2010, neutral): “, 2007; Kaufman and Koren, 2006) and optical properties (Twomey, 1977; Rosenfeld, 2000).”
Multisensor satellite observations of aerosol effects on warm clouds (2008, background): “On local scales, remote sensing [Rosenfeld, 2000] and in-situ observations [Ferek et al., 2000] indicate that enhanced aerosol concentrations can indeed suppress precipitation.”
Evaluation of the aerosol indirect effect in marine stratocumulus clouds : droplet number, size, liquid water path, and radiative impact (2005, background): “Pollution from urban areas may also decrease precipitation, since too many small droplets deplete available water vapor so that precipitation-sized drops cannot form [Albrecht, 1989; Rosenfeld, 2000].”
The Reno Aerosol Optics Study: An Evaluation of Aerosol Absorption Measurement Methods (2005, background): “These aerosol-induced changes in radiative fluxes are referred to as aerosol radiative forcing, the importance of which as a component of climate forcing has recently begun to be understood (e.g., Coakley and Cess 1985; Charlson et al. 1991; IPCC 1995, 2001; Hansen et al. 1997; Rosenfeld 2000).”
THE JOINT AEROSOL- MONSOON EXPERIMENT A New Challenge for Monsoon Climate Research (2008, background): “…can affect the monsoon water cycle by significantly altering the energy balance in the atmosphere and at the Earth’s surface (Ramanathan et al. 2001; Li 2004) and by modulating cloud and rain processes (Rosenfeld 2000; Menon et al. 2002; Ramanathan et al. 2005; Lau et al. 2006, and others).”
