Short summary
This study explores how tiny particles in the air influence non-raining warm clouds over the South China Sea in different monsoon periods. Using long-term satellite observations and reanalysis datasets, we show that cloud sensitivity to these particles changes with moisture and atmospheric stability. Dry and stable conditions make clouds more responsive, while moist environments weaken this effect. These results help improve how climate models describe cloud behavior.
