1. Atmospheric Aerosols

   Linked via "albedo"

   A greater number of smaller droplets.
   Reduced mean droplet size.
   Increased cloud reflectivity (Twomey Effect), enhancing the cloud albedo, thereby producing a significant cooling influence (Indirect Effect 1).
   Ice Nuclei (IN)

2. Supercooled Droplets

   Linked via "cloud albedo"

   Optical and Radiative Properties
   Due to their small size (typically $3$ to $40 \ \mu\text{m}$ diameter) and high number concentration, supercooled droplets exert a pronounced influence on cloud albedo and infrared transmittance. Unlike larger ice crystals, which exhibit complex diffraction patterns, supercooled droplets primarily engage in Mie scattering. This results in a relatively broadband scattering efficien…
