Short summary
High-resolution Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) are used to examine how aerosols affect liquid water path (LWP) sensitivity in non-precipitating liquid clouds. Two cases, 1985 (high aerosol) and 2013 (low aerosol), show a non-linear Nd–LWP relationship with a shift from positive to negative sensitivity at higher Nd under high aerosol loading. Enhanced cloud-top entrainment, evaporation, and heating drive this shift, highlighting aerosol impact on cloud microphysics and thermodynamics.
