Short summary
Decoupling aerosol and environmental impacts on convection is challenging. Using airborne data, we correlated convective metrics with aerosol concentrations in several different environments. Results were mixed, but some comparisons suggest that medium-to-high aerosol concentrations were occasionally strongly correlated with convective intensity and prevalence, especially when the atmosphere was relatively unstable. It is important to consider storm environment when evaluating aerosol effects.
