On the contribution of fast and slow responses to precipitation changes caused by aerosol perturbations

<p>Changes in global-mean precipitation are strongly constrained by global radiative cooling, while regional rainfall changes are less constrained because energy can be transported. Absorbing and non-absorbing aerosols have different effects on both global-mean and regional precipitation, due...
