متن کاملAerosol effect on the evolution of the thermodynamic properties of warm convective cloud fields
Convective cloud formation and evolution strongly depend on environmental temperature and humidity profiles. The forming clouds change the profiles that created them by redistributing heat and moisture. Here we show that the evolution of the field's thermodynamic properties depends heavily on the concentration of aerosol, liquid or solid particles suspended in the atmosphere. Under polluted con...
متن کاملGrowth of Cloud Droplets in a Turbulent Environment
Motivated by the need to resolve the condensation-coalescence bottleneck in warm rain formation, a significant number of studies have emerged in the past 15 years concerning the growth of cloud droplets by water-vapor diffusion and by collision-coalescence in a turbulent environment.With regard to condensation, recent studies suggest that small-scale turbulence alone does not produce a signific...
متن کاملAerosol Effects on Cumulus Congestus Population over the Tropical Pacific: A Cloud-Resolving Modeling Study
This study examines the significance of aerosol serving as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in modulating strengths of tropical maritime convection. Through a Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Couple Ocean̶Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) case study using a cloud-resolving model (the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble Model with a horizontal mesh interval of 750 m) and a detailed spectral bin mic...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Aerosol concentrations determine the height of warm rain and ice initiation in convective clouds over the Amazon basin” by Ramon Campos Braga et al
Reviewer’s text: A strength of this paper is the presentation of cloud in-situ observations that addresses the question of how convective clouds are influenced by changing the concentration of aerosols. The authors have determined that the height of rain initiation given by D_i is approximately 5 * the number concentration of cloud droplets at cloud base, N_d. This type of study is needed for d...
