TL;DR: In this article, the effect of aerosols on convective precipitation processes has been studied in the context of cloud resolution models (CRMs) and the results from (CRM) simulations.

TL;DR: In this article, an ice nucleation parameterization based on classical nucleation theory, with aerosol-specific parameters derived from experiments, has been implemented into a global climate model, the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM)-Oslo.

TL;DR: This article examined changes of precipitation extremes as a function of global mean temperature by using a new method which focuses on interannual differences rather than time series and found that the top 10% bin of precipitation intensity increases by about 95% for each degree Kelvin (K) increase in global mean temperatures, while 30%-60% bins decrease by about 20% K -1.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical analysis of surface kinetic and gas-phase diffusional effects permits the growth rates and habits of ice crystals to be specified in a self-consistent way, making use of the fact that the difference between the condensation coefficients of the prism and basal faces determines the primary crystal habits, whereas the spatial variations of the vapor density contribute to the secondary habits.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used sunphotometer, lidar, and surface particulate matter measurements to assess MODIS AOD products for air quality monitoring in Taiwan, which revealed a satisfactory validation against AERONET measurements with correlation coefficient ∼ 0.91 during Terra and ∼0.83 during Aqua overpasses in the period of 2006-2008.
