Opposing comparable large effects of fine aerosols and coarse sea spray on marine warm clouds
Fine aerosols strongly reduce cloud drop size and suppress rainfall from marine warm clouds, whereas coarse sea spray has an opposite and independent effect of comparable magnitude, according to an analysis of satellite spectrometer and radar observations.
