Owing to the high variability of aerosols, and their different impact on the Earth's climate system, aerosol type classification from satellite measurements is of high importance. Polarization sensitive lidar measurements on board the future Earth Clouds, Aerosols and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) satellite mission will provide information to distinguish different aerosol types. We analyze whether...
Recent studies, over regions influenced by biomass burning aerosol, have shown that it is possible to define a ‘critical cloud fraction’ (CCF) at which the aerosol direct radiative forcing switch from a cooling to a warming effect. Using 4 years of multi‐satellite data analysis, we show that CCF varies with aerosol composition and changed from 0.28 to 0.13 from postmonsoon to winter as a result of...
