Analysis of polarimetric satellite measurements suggests stronger cooling due to aerosol-cloud interactions

The radiative forcing due to aerosol-cloud interactions constitutes one of the largest uncertainties of anthropogenic radiative forcing. Direct satellite measurements of the relevant aerosol properties reveal that the resulting cooling from anthropogenic aerosols is much stronger than previously tho...
