摘要：

The energy that drives Earth's climate system comes from the sunlight absorbed by the Earth. Aerosols may either suppress or enhance precipitation, thus affecting the water cycle and latent as well as radiative heating. The cloud environment may also alter aerosol properties through hygroscopic growth in the humid air between clouds or through in-cloud processing of the aerosol. Launched in April 2006, the CALIPSO mission was conceived and developed to provide new insights into aerosols and clouds, their various interactions, and their roles in the climate system. The largest uncertainties in climate forcings have been identified as the aerosol direct and indirect radiative forcings. Passive satellites measure column-averaged aerosol properties. They have limited capabilities to resolve the vertical distribution of aerosols within the atmosphere, yet the effects of aerosol on climate depend critically on this distribution, especially relative to that of clouds.
