9 Aerosol-cloud interactions Only CCN matters! 9
10 Key Gaps in understanding aerosol-cloud interactions CCN measurements are scant: o In-situ and ground-based remote sensing o No space-based measurements! 10
11 How about AOD? Satellite-retrieved AOD is inherently not suitable for studying aerosol-cloud interactions: o AOD not representing aerosol concentration near cloud base o Cloud contamination o AOD retrieval is an ill-posed technique (The number of known variables is less than what is required) o Lack of accurate AOD signal for the pristine boundary layer, where accuracy is most critical 11

35 Application to Houston region D Rosenfeld, YZheng et al., 2016 The numbers in each area are, top: CCN (cm -3 ); middle: S (%), bottom: cloud base temperature ( C). Unstable clean tropical air mass flows northward (upward in the image) from the Gulf of Mexico. The Houston urban effect is clearly visible by more than tripling the CCN concentrations over Houston 35
36 Summary 1. Aerosols, which serve as CCN, can affect cloud properties, which alter the heating gradients, convections and circulations, thus affecting the hydrological cycle of the monsoon climate. 2. Measuring cloud-aerosol interactions requires disentangling CCN from updraft effects, both of which were not measurable until very recently. 3. Existing satellite data is an under-exploited resource, which can still provide new fundamental insights. 4. More investigations (extensive validations and modeling study) are needed before the algorithms can be applied operationally. 36
