  The Figure S5 caption should be: "In the High-Pcp area during P2: (a) the vertical vapor fluxes averaged over girds with the top 10 percentiles of the updrafts (90th to 100th) simulated by the SBM runs; (b) vertical profiles of latent heating rates averaged among precipitation grids simulated by SBM-Clean (blue lines) & Dusty (red lines) runs." Sorry for the mistake.

Short summary

This paper explores the impacts of dust on summertime convective cloud and precipitation through a numerical experiment. The result indicates that the long-range-transported dust can notably affect the properties of convective cloud and precipitation by enhancing immersion freezing and invigorating convection. We also analyze the different dust effects predicted by the Morrison and SBM schemes, which are partially attributed to the saturation adjustment approach utilized in the bulk schemes.
