Mixed-phase clouds are frequently observed in the Arctic, Antarctic, and over the Southern Ocean, and have important impacts on the surface energy budget and regional climate. Marine organic aerosol (MOA), a natural source of aerosol emitted over ~ 70 % of Earth’s surface, may significantly modify t...
