Short summary
This study investigates aerosol-precipitation characteristics of urban clusters across different climatic areas in China: enhanced aerosol loading reduces regional precipitation disparities, most in spring & summer. Precipitation shows stronger regional than seasonal variability, with convective varying more than stratiform precipitation. Northern city precipitation is dominated by dust aerosols; coastal areas by sea salt. Moreover, dynamic & thermal impacts on their microphysics are distinct.
