abstract = "The effects of aerosol particles and updraft speed on warm-phase
cloud microphysical properties are studied in the Amazon region as
part of the ACRIDICON-CHUVA experiment. Here we expand the
sensitivity analysis usually found in the literature by
concomitantly considering cloud evolution, putting the sensitivity
quantifications into perspective in relation to in-cloud
processing, and by considering the effects on droplet size
distribution (DSD) shape. Our in situ aircraft measurements over
the Amazon Basin cover a wide range of particle concentration and
thermodynamic conditions, from the pristine regions over coastal
and forested areas to the southern Amazon, which is highly
polluted from biomass burning. The quantitative results show that
particle concentration is the primary driver for the vertical
profiles of effective diameter and droplet concentration in the
warm phase of Amazonian convective clouds, while updraft speeds
have a modulating role in the latter and in total condensed water.
The cloud microphysical properties were found to be highly
variable with altitude above cloud base, which we used as a proxy
for cloud evolution since it is a measure of the time droplets
that were subject to cloud processing. We show that DSD shape is
crucial in understanding cloud sensitivities. The aerosol effect
on DSD shape was found to vary with altitude, which can help
models to better constrain the indirect aerosol effect on
climate.",
