Rainfall-aerosol relationships explained by wet scavenging and humidity
- Abstract:
-
Relationships between precipitation rate and aerosol optical depth, the extinction of light by aerosol in an atmospheric column, have been observed in satellite-retrieved data. What are the reasons for these precipitation-aerosol relationships? We investigate relationships between convective precipitation rate (Rconv) and aerosol optical depth (τtot) using the ECHAM5-HAM aerosol-climate model. We show that negative R conv-τtot relationships arise due to wet scavenging of aerosol. The apparent...
