Cloud-Aerosol Interactions and Climate Change

Atmospheric aerosols and clouds are integral constituents of the climate system, wielding considerable influence over the radiation budget and assuming critical roles in the hydrologic cycle and atmospheric chemistry. The intricate nature of these atmospheric components presents a formidable challenge for climate models, particularly in accurately simulating aerosols and clouds for future climate projections. In response to these challenges, recent years have witnessed a surge in scientific initiatives, encompassing extensive field campaigns, theoretical inquiries, laboratory investigations, and advancements in modeling methodologies.

This scientific endeavor signifies a concerted effort to directly address the intricacies associated with aerosol-cloud-climate interactions. As we embark on this scientific odyssey, we extend an invitation to the community of researchers, observers, and modelers within the field of the interaction between aerosol, cloud, and climate change. We invite you to collaboratively contribute to the advancement of our understanding regarding the nuanced interplay between aerosols, clouds, and climate change. This curated Collection, born from the symbiosis of meticulous observations and state-of-the-art models, aspires to transcend existing boundaries and carve a significant niche within the evolving discourse of atmospheric science.

This Collection expects novel results in intertwining observations and models across varying spatial and temporal scales, aiming to advance our understanding of aerosols, clouds, and climate change, as well as the interactions between them. The objective of this Collection is not only to decipher their individual nuances, but also to illuminate the orchestrated symphony that governs our planet's atmospheric dynamics.
