Short summary

We use a size-resolved aerosol-cloud model to analyze the effects of aerosol size and hygroscopicity in modulating marine liquid-phase cloud responses under the winter monsoon. Our findings highlight the environmental dependence of the impacts of aerosol physicochemical properties on aerosol-cloud interactions, their pronounced effects under specific conditions, and the relative contributions of aerosol size and hygroscopicity.
