Interpreting the cloud cover – aerosol optical depth relationship found in satellite data using a general circulation model
Statistical analysis of satellite data shows a positive correlation between aerosol optical depth (AOD) and total cloud cover (TCC). Reasons for this relationship have been disputed in recent literature. The aim of this study is to explore how different processes contribute to one model's analo...
