A strong statistical link between aerosol indirect effects and the self-similarity of rainfall distributions
<p>We use convective-scale simulations of monsoonal clouds to reveal a self-similar probability density function that underpins surface rainfall statistics. This density is independent of cloud-droplet number concentration and is unchanged by aerosol perturbations. It therefore represents an i...
