Aerosol effects on cloud water amounts were successfully simulated by a global cloud-system resolving model

Most global climate models overestimate the aerosol effect on cloud properties, but the reason for this is unclear. Here the authors show that using explicit representation of cloud microphysics, in global scale modelling, rather than parameterisations, reduces the overestimation.
