Short summary
We show with detailed computer simulations that spatial patterns of emissions strongly affect aerosols and their ability to seed clouds. Highly variable emissions can raise cloud-forming particle concentrations in the boundary layer by up to 25 %. Because clouds regulate climate and precipitation, these findings underscore the need to represent realistic emission patterns to improve climate predictions.
