Abstract

The characterization of clouds is the biggest uncertainty in the study of weather and climate change. To improve weather and climate forecasts and predictions, an accurate understanding of cloud characteristics and their interaction with aerosols is essential. The speaker focused on cloud physics and its interaction with aerosols and carried out systematic and innovative research. Starting from the remote sensing observations of clouds and their uncertainties, this report explores the sensitivity of clouds to aerosols, reveals the laws of cloud-aerosol interactions, and finally analyzes the precipitation and radiation effects of cloud-aerosol interactions.
