Short summary
This study reveals how air pollution affects cloud properties in eastern China using satellite data from 2008–2022. We find CER/LWP (cloud droplet effective radius/liquid water path) relationship exhibits three regimes, modulated by aerosol concentration. The Twomey effect is confirmed, and its sensitivity shows significant spatial-scale dependence. Surprisingly, cleaner air after 2015 make clouds less sensitive to pollution's effects. The optimal buffer sizes show notable variations for the study area in the range from 6°×6° to 10°×10°.
