For the first time, a liquid-water cloud study of 1 Introduction the aerosol–cloud-dynamics relationship, solely based on li- dar, was conducted. Twenty-nine cases of pure liquid-water The indirect aerosol effect on climate results from two cloud- altocumulus layers were observed with a novel dual-field-of- view Raman lidar over the polluted central European site of influencing aspects. Atmospheric aerosol particles act as Leipzig, Germany, between September 2010 and September cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in liquid-water droplet for- 2012. By means of the novel Raman lidar technique, cloud mation and as ice nuclei in processes of heterogeneous ice properties such as the droplet effective radius and cloud nucleation. There is no doubt that aerosols play a key role in droplet number concentration (CDNC) in the lower part of the evolution of warm (pure liquid-water) and mixed-phase altocumulus layers are obtained. The conventional aerosol clouds and in the formation of precipitation and that anthro- Raman lidar technique provides the aerosol extinction coeffi- pogenic and natural aerosols may thus sensitively influence cient (used as aerosol proxy) below cloud base.
