This Collection supports and amplifies research related to:
SDG 13 – Climate Action
This Scientific Reports Collection welcomes original research on aerosol-cloud-climate interactions and radiative forcing. Narrative review articles are also welcomed, to our sister journal Scientific Reviews. For further information, please view the ‘Participating Journals’ below.
Aerosol-cloud-climate interactions are crucial for understanding radiative forcing and the Earth’s climate system. These interactions influence cloud microphysics, atmospheric composition, and climate feedback mechanisms, significantly affecting weather patterns and long-term climate trends. The role of aerosols, including black and brown carbon, in modifying cloud properties elucidates their impact on global warming and climate variability, making this a pivotal area for research.
This Collection welcomes submissions on aerosol-cloud interactions, focusing on climate modelling, radiative forcing, and the intricate dynamics of cloud microphysics.
