Short summary
We ask how the amount of aerosol particles shapes cloud structure. Using computer simulations of a laboratory cloud chamber, we varied aerosol levels and tracked droplet growth. When aerosols are few, cloud water increases with height; when many, it becomes almost uniform because vapor is used up near the bottom. These findings clarify when upward motions matter and guide chamber design and better cloud treatment in weather and climate models.
