摘要
Clouds play essential roles in the Earth’s radiative energy balance and global hydrological cycle.Aerosols,the particles suspended in the air,can change cloud properties by interacting with radiation or serving as cloud condensation nuclei.However,the variations in cloud properties subjected to aerosol context,and their impacts on radiation and precipitation,are related to many complicating factors such as land types,meteorological conditions,cloud types,aerosol properties,and their co-varied relationships.Complication of cloud-aerosol-radiation-precipitation interactions makes representation of clouds one of the largest uncertainties in climate models for future climate prediction.It has also become a prevailing topic in atmospheric sciences over the past several decades.
