Impact of the representation of marine stratocumulus clouds on the anthropogenic aerosol effect

Stratocumulus clouds are important for climate as they reflect large amounts of solar radiation back into space. However they are difficult to simulate in global climate models because they form under a sharp inversion and are thin. A comparison of model simulations with the ECHAM6-HAM2 global aeros...
