Fig. 2: Water vapor mixing ratio response to aerosol perturbation in realistic deep-convective clouds simulations.

Vertical profiles of the domain and time mean a change in water vapor mixing ratio—qv, and b relative change in qv due to an aerosol perturbation (normalized to an order-of-magnitude increase in aerosol concentration). Same as Fig. 1 but focused only on the realistic simulations. The different green curves represent different models that participated in Marinescu et al.11.
