Clouds, with their global average spatial coverage of nearly 70%, are an important constituent in Earth’s atmosphere. Clouds redistribute fresh water and alter Earth’s radiative balance, thus, impacting the climate. Both precipitation formation and the radiative response of clouds are strongly relat...
