Aerosol effects on clouds are concealed by natural cloud heterogeneity and satellite retrieval errors
The authors showed that previous analyses which have estimated that the cloud water content decreases with increasing number of cloud droplets may have a negative bias due to variability in satellite data, thus underestimating aerosol-cloud-climate cooling.
