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.

Factors affecting precipitation formation and precipitation susceptibility of marine stratocumulus with variable above- and below-cloud aerosol concentrations over the Southeast Atlantic

Siddhant Gupta et al.

Summary: Aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions (ACIs) contribute to uncertainties in climate models. Observations from the ORACLES field campaign showed that contact between biomass burning aerosols and marine stratocumulus resulted in precipitation suppression and reduced precipitation susceptibility. Different aerosol concentrations also influenced cloud microphysical properties.

Environmental effects on aerosol-cloud interaction in non-precipitating marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds over the eastern North Atlantic

Xiaojian Zheng et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impacts of environmental variables on aerosol-cloud interaction (ACI(r)) using 20 non-precipitating marine boundary layer cloud cases. The results show that cloud droplet effective radius is more sensitive to cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) loading under sufficient water vapor supply. Boundary layer turbulence and water vapor supply also affect ACI(r).

Observations of Aerosol, Cloud, Turbulence, and Radiation Properties at the Top of the Marine Boundary Layer over the Eastern North Atlantic Ocean: The ACORES Campaign

Holger Siebert et al.

Summary: The ACORES campaign in July 2017 focused on investigating aerosol particles, stratocumulus microphysical and radiative properties, and turbulence parameters in the eastern North Atlantic around Graciosa and Pico Islands. The observations revealed high variability of turbulent cloud-top structure on horizontal scales below 100 meters, significant inhomogeneities in cloud-top brightness temperature on scales well below 100 meters, and completely different aerosol properties in the marine boundary layer and free troposphere.

Vertical profiles of trace gas and aerosol properties over the eastern North Atlantic: variations with season and synoptic condition

Yang Wang et al.

Summary: Marine low clouds play a significant role in the global climate, with their response to changes in atmospheric aerosols remaining a major uncertainty in climate simulations. Research in the Eastern North Atlantic region has shown that marine cloud condensation nuclei concentrations are influenced by aerosols, with biomass burning and North American pollution playing a larger role in summer and long-range transported continental emissions having a weaker impact in winter.

Summary: The ACE-ENA study investigated aerosol and cloud properties in the Eastern North Atlantic region, revealing a predominance of sulfate and highly processed organics in aerosol chemical composition. The presence of particulate methanesulfonic acid (MSA) and its gas-phase precursor dimethyl sulfide (DMS) was detected, highlighting the relationship between ocean productivity and aerosol formation.

Vertical dependence of horizontal variation of cloud microphysics: observations from the ACE-ENA field campaign and implications for warm-rain simulation in climate models

Zhibo Zhang et al.

Summary: The study reveals the significant impact of subgrid-scale horizontal variations and covariation of cloud water content and cloud droplet number concentration in marine boundary layer clouds on the parameterization of warm-rain process in global climate models. The strong positive correlation between cloud water content and cloud droplet number concentration, especially at cloud top, can lead to a suppressing effect on the enhancement factor for autoconversion rate. The physically complete enhancement factor, accounting for the covariation of cloud water content and cloud droplet number concentration, is found to be significantly smaller than its counterpart that only considers the subgrid variation of cloud water content, especially at cloud top.
