Coarse-mode sea spray aerosols enhance warm rain formation in marine low clouds

Abstract. Precipitation in low clouds affects cloud responses to aerosol perturbations, thereby impacting aerosol radiative forcing of climate, a significant but indeterminate contribution to uncertainty in future warming. The onset of drizzle formation in marine low clouds may b...

Airborne performance assessment of the DLR MIRO MGA 3 quantum cascade laser spectrometer for fast N 2 O measurements

Abstract. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is the most dominant precursor of ozone-depleting substances and the third most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas, with agriculture contributing the largest share of emissions (56 %). Over the past two decades, airborne in-situ measurements have...
