Investigating relationships between aerosol optical depth and cloud fraction using satellite, aerosol reanalysis and general circulation model data

Strong positive relationships between cloud fraction (<i>f</i><sub>c</sub>) and aerosol optical depth (τ) have been reported. Data retrieved from the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument show positive <i>f</i><sub>c</sub>–τ...
