Short summary
Aerosols influence cloud formation, structure, and radiative effects. As air masses move from the subtropics to the tropics, clouds transition from shallow to deeper systems. Using five years of satellite observations and numerical simulations, we find a robust aerosol impact on this Lagrangian cloud evolution: higher aerosol levels produce thicker, more reflective clouds, enhancing cooling and modifying energy and moisture transport toward the tropics.
