Precipitation susceptibility in marine stratocumulus and shallow cumulus from airborne measurements

Precipitation tends to decrease as aerosol concentration increases in warm marine boundary layer clouds at fixed liquid water path (LWP). The quantitative nature of this relationship is captured using the precipitation susceptibility (<i>S</i><sub><i>o</i></sub>...
