Cloud fraction mediates the aerosol optical depth - cloud top height relationship
The observed strong link between aerosol optical depth (<em>τ</em>) and cloud top pressure (<em>p</em><sub>top</sub>) has frequently been interpreted as the invigoration of convective clouds by aerosol, with increased <em>τ</em> being strongly correlat...
