Untangling aerosol effects on clouds and precipitation in a buffered system
B Stevens, G Feingold - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
It is thought that changes in the concentration of cloud-active aerosol can alter the
precipitation efficiency of clouds, thereby changing cloud amount and, hence, the radiative …
