The source of discrepancies in aerosol–cloud–precipitation interactions between GCM and A-Train retrievals
Aerosol–cloud interactions are one of the most uncertain processes in climate models due to their nonlinear complexity. A key complexity arises from the possibility that clouds can respond to perturbed aerosols in two opposite ways, as characterized by the traditional “cloud lifetime” hypothesis...
