Abstract
Observational data on aerosol-cloud-drizzle relationships in marine stratocumulus are
presented from the second Marine Stratus/Stratocumulus Experiment (MASE-II)
carried out in July 2007 over the eastern Pacific near Monterey, California. Observations,
carried out in regions of essentially uniform meteorology with localized aerosol
enhancements due to ship exhaust (‘‘ship tracks’’), demonstrate, in accord with those from
numerous other field campaigns, that increased cloud drop number concentration Nc and
decreased cloud top effective radius re are associated with increased subcloud aerosol
concentration.
