Understanding the contributions of aerosol properties and parameterization discrepancies to droplet number variability in a global climate model

Aerosol indirect effects in climate models strongly depend on the representation of the aerosol activation process. In this study, we assess the process-level differences across activation parameterizations that contribute to droplet number uncertainty by using the adjoints of the Abdul-Razzak and G...
