A global survey of aerosol-liquid water cloud overlap based on four years of CALIPSO-CALIOP data

Simulating the radiative impacts of aerosols located above liquid water clouds presents a significant challenge. In particular, absorbing aerosols, such as smoke, may have significant impact in such situations and even change the sign of net radiative forcing. It is not possible to reliably obtain i...
