Implementation of a two‐moment bulk microphysics scheme to the WRF model to investigate aerosol‐cloud interaction (2008, background): “Recent analyses of satellite measurements showed strong systematic correlations among aerosol loading, cloud cover [Kaufman et al., 2005], and cloud height over the Atlantic Ocean [Koren et”
Aerosol indirect effects in a multi-scale aerosol-climate model PNNL-MMF (2011, background): “c SWCF, LWCF, FSNT, FSNTC, FLNT, and FLNTC are taken from ERBE for the years 1985–1989 (Kiehl and Trenberth, 1997) and CERES for the years 2000–2005 as listed in Table 4 of Loeb et al. (2009). d Numbers in parenthesis are from large-scale clouds.”
Aerosol invigoration and restructuring of Atlantic convective clouds (2005, background): “During the northern hemisphere summer, the average cloud fraction in the studied area is 0.6, of which 75% are classified as deep convective and high clouds and 25% as marine stratocumulus and shallow cumulus (analyzed in a different study [Kaufman et al., 2005]).”
Large-Eddy Simulations of Trade Wind Cumuli: Investigation of Aerosol Indirect Effects (2006, background): “Satellite- and surface-based remote sensing has also been widely used to identify aerosol effects on clouds (e.g., Kaufman and Nakajima 1993; Feingold et al. 2003), but questions remain regarding the ability of these methods to quantify the indirect effects (Feingold 2003).”
First observation‐based estimates of cloud‐free aerosol radiative forcing across China (2010, background): “[1] Heavy loading of aerosols in China is widely known, but little is known about their impact on regional radiation budgets, which is often expressed as aerosol radiative forcing (ARF).”
A simple model for the cloud adjacency effect and the apparent bluing of aerosols near clouds (2008, background): “[2] Numerous studies based on satellite observations have reported a positive correlation between cloud amount and aerosol optical thickness (AOT) [e.g., Sekiguchi et al., 2003; Loeb and Manalo-Smith, 2005; Ignatov et al., 2005; Zhang et al., 2005; Kaufman et al., 2005a; Matheson et al., 2005].”
Multisensor satellite observations of aerosol effects on warm clouds (2008, result): “Han et al. [2002] identify that the correlation between these parameters may be positive or negative and varies regionally while the results of Kaufman et al. [2005] suggest that the sign of the response may depend on aerosol type.”
Aerosol indirect effects – general circulation model intercomparison and evaluation with satellite data (2009, background): “It has also been shown that cloud fraction is strongly correlated with τa (Sekiguchi et al., 2003; Loeb and Manalo-Smith, 2005; Kaufman et al., 2005; Kaufman and Koren, 2006; Myhre et al., 2007; Quaas et al., 2008; Menon et al., 2008a).”
Review of Aerosol–Cloud Interactions: Mechanisms, Significance, and Challenges (2016, background): “…increase cloud albedo (Twomey 1977; Coakley et al. 1987), suppress collision and coalescence processes, and, thus, reduce warm rain (Albrecht 1989; Rosenfeld and Lensky 1998; Rosenfeld 2000), elongate cloud lifetime, and increase cloud cover (Albrecht 1989; Kaufman et al. 2005; Yuan et al. 2011b).”
Global dimming and brightening: A review (2009, background): “[79] In pristine areas, additional CCNs will strongly increase the formation, lifetime and the albedo of clouds [Kaufman et al., 2005].”
Aerosol-cloud interaction inferred from MODIS satellite data and global aerosol models (2006, background): “However, interpretation of the complex relationships between AOD and cloud parameters should be made with great care and further work is clearly needed.”
Satellite-based estimate of the direct and indirect aerosol climate forcing (2008, background): “…2004; Kaufman et al., 2005b] and positively correlated with cloud droplet number concentration [CDNC; Nakajima et al., 2001; Sekiguchi et al., 2003; Kaufman et al., 2005b; Quaas et al., 2006], cloud liquid water path [LWP; Sekiguchi et al., 2003; Quaas et al., 2004; Kaufman et al., 2005b] and…”
Interpreting the cloud cover – aerosol optical depth relationship found in satellite data using a general circulation model (2009, methodology): “Also, spurious clouds might be un-detected by the retrieval algorithm in regions identified as clear and thus used for an AOD retrieval (“cloud contamination”; Kaufman et al., 2005b; Zhang et al., 2005; Tian et al., 2008).”
Do Changes in Connectivity Explain Desertification? (2009, background): “Atmo spheric dust, with its myriad effects (Okin et al. 2004, Kaufman et al. 2005, Kellogg and Griffin 2006), is produced by erosional processes in deserts worldwide and increases with desertification (Moulin and Chiapello 2006).”
Cosmic Rays and Climate (2005, methodology): “For shallow clouds over the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Ocean, changes of the top-of-the-atmosphere radiative forcing due to increased aerosol loading are found to be largely due to the increased cloud amount (80%), with smaller contributions from the Twomey effect (10%) and increased liquid w”
Global observations of aerosol‐cloud‐precipitation‐climate interactions (2014, methodology): “A more climatically representative study, which analyzed the whole central Atlantic Ocean (20°S–5°N), showed average aerosol cloud mediated radiative forcing of 9.5Wm 2, out of which only 1.5Wm 2 was due to the albedo effect [Kaufman et al., 2005a].”
