Relative humidity and its effect on aerosol optical depth in the vicinity of convective clouds

The hygroscopic growth of aerosols is controlled by the relative humidity (RH) and changes the aerosols' physical and hence optical properties. Observational studies of aerosol-cloud interactions evaluate the aerosol concentration using optical parameters, such as the aerosol optical depth (AOD...
