abstract = {<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Clouds and aerosols
contribute the largest uncertainty to current estimates and
interpretations of the $Earth\’s$ changing energy
budget. Here we use a new-generation large-domain large-eddy
model, ICON-LEM, to simulate the response of clouds to
realistic anthropogenic perturbations in aerosols serving as
cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). The novelty compared to
previous studies is that (i) the LEM is run in weather
prediction mode and with fully interactive land surface over
a large domain, and (ii) a large range of data from various
sources are used for the detection and attribution. The
aerosol perturbation was chosen as peak-aerosol conditions
over Europe in 1985, with more than five-fold more sulfate
than in 2013. Observational data from various satellite and
ground-based remote sensing instruments are used aiming at a
detection and attribution of this response. The simulation
was run for a selected day (2 May 2013) in which over the
selected domain of central Europe a large variety of cloud
regimes was present.</p><p> It first is demonstrated, using
satellite aerosol optical depth retrievals available for
both 1985 and 2013, that the aerosol fields for the
reference conditions and also for the perturbed ones, as
well as the difference between the two, were consistent in
the model and the satellite retrievals. In comparison to
retrievals from ground-based lidar for 2013, CCN profiles
for the reference conditions were consistent with the
observations, while the ones for the 1985 conditions were
not.</p><p> Similarly, detection-and-attribution was
successful for droplet number concentrations: the ones
simulated for the 2013 conditions were consistent with
satellite as well as new ground-based lidar retrievals,
while the ones for the 1985 conditions were outside the
observational range.</p><p> For other cloud quantities,
including cloud fraction, liquid water path, cloud-base
altitude, and cloud lifetime, the aerosol response was small
compared to their natural variability. Also, large
uncertainties in satellite and ground-based observations
make the detection-attribution difficult for these
quantities. An exception to this is the fact that at large
liquid water path, the control simulation matches the
observations, while the perturbed one shows too large
LWP.</p><p> The model simulations allowed to quantify the
radiative forcing due to aerosol-cloud interactions, as well
as the adjustments to this forcing. The latter were small
compared to the variability and showed overall a small
positive radiative effect. The overall effective radiative
forcing (ERF) due to aerosol-cloud interactions (ERFaci) in
the simulation was dominated thus by the Twomey effect and
yielded for this day, region, and aerosol perturbation
$\−2.6$ $W\ m<sup>-2</sup>.$ Using general
circulation models to scale this to a global-mean
present-day vs. pre-industrial ERFaci yields a global ERFaci
of $\−0.8\ W\ m<sup>-2</sup>.</p>$},
