Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE-ENA)

Jian Wang et al.

Summary: Marine low clouds have a significant impact on global climate, but their representation in global climate models is currently inadequate. Understanding how marine low clouds respond to changes in atmospheric greenhouse gases and aerosols is a major source of uncertainty in climate simulations. The eastern North Atlantic region is a unique area with diverse marine boundary layer clouds, making it an excellent location to study the impact of aerosols on cloud properties. The Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in Eastern North Atlantic campaign was conducted to improve the understanding of the marine boundary layer cloud and aerosol interactions, as well as the cloud condensation nuclei budget.

Influences of Recent Particle Formation on Southern Ocean Aerosol Variability and Low Cloud Properties

Summary: The study reveals that Southern Ocean free tropospheric aerosol is dominated by Aitken particles generated through synoptic uplift, which buffer the boundary layer cloud condensation nuclei and cloud droplets against precipitation removal. The Community Atmosphere Model (CAM6) underpredicts Aitken and accumulation mode aerosols and cloud droplet number, indicating incomplete representations of aerosol mechanisms associated with ocean biology.
