Anthropogenic Aerosol Influences on Mixed-Phase Clouds ...
Aerosol effects on mixed-phase clouds (MPCs) are more complex than in warm clouds because aerosol particles can act both as cloud condensation nuclei and as ice nucleating particles and more microphysical pathways exist. Stratiform MPCs are most prevalent in the Arctic where cloud top cooling enable...
