AEROSOL INDIRECT EFFECT
... Why is the indirect effect poorly understood? Indirect forcing uncertainties arise because: • Aerosol-cloud interactions take place at smaller spatial scales than climate models can resolve, and must be parameterized. • Aerosol-cloud interactions are complex; many aspects are unknown or poorly unde ...
