Second Indirect Aerosol Effect

The Second Indirect Aerosol Effect is a climatological phenomenon within aerosol-cloud interactions wherein increased aerosol concentrations enhance cloud droplet number concentration, thereby increasing cloud albedo and extending cloud lifetime, leading to a radiative forcing effect distinct from the direct scattering or absorption of radiation by aerosols.
