Consider the following statements about aerosol and precipitation.
1. Smaller droplets collide and coalesce less efficiently.
2. Suppressed rain can prolong the lifetime of a cloud.
3. More nuclei reliably increase the rainfall from any cloud.

  • A.3 only
  • B.1 only
  • C.All of them
  • D.1 and 2 only

Answer: D

The first two are correct and are the basis of the second indirect effect. The third overstates a relationship that reverses in deep convective clouds where invigoration can occur instead. The sign of the effect depends on the regime the cloud belongs to.
