Marine Stratocumulus Clouds With More Coarse Sea Spray Aerosols Are Brighter

The idea of cooling the Earth by marine cloud brightening is well established. All prior studies considered enhancing cloud albedo only with fine aerosols (FA). Adding coarse sea spray aerosols (CSA, radius>1 μm) has been thought to have the opposite effect. Using nearly a decade of satellite obs...
