Abstract
The impacts of anthropogenic aerosols on clouds are the most uncertain drivers of anthropogenic climate forcing. Ship-track-like strong anthropogenic cloud perturbations can help reduce these uncertainties. Using geostationary SEVIRI satellite data, we show that strong cloud perturbations downwind of isolated continental anthropogenic aerosol sources can live for multiple days. This item includes the full data-set collected and analysed in the research.
