Impacts of the Manaus pollution plume on the microphysical properties of Amazonian warm-phase clouds in the wet season

The remote atmosphere over the Amazon can be similar to oceanic regions in terms of aerosol conditions and cloud type formations. This is especially true during the wet season. The main aerosol-related disturbances over the Amazon have both natural sources, such as dust transport from Africa, and an...
