| Zusammenfassung |
| Aerosol pollution can have various effects on mixed-phase clouds. They can alter
coalescence and raindrop-freezing for droplet activation by CCN aerosols. They can
alter aggregation of ice crystals and snow formation. This can alter the lifetime of
mixed-phase clouds, as well as the reflectivity for solar radiation. Simulations of observed
cases of mixed-phase clouds have been performed to examine the mechanisms
for effects from aerosol pollution on them. Such mechanisms are discussed in the
presentation. |
