AB: Aerosols make an important contribution to the heat balance of the Earth's atmosphere. However, a potentially more important effect of atmospheric aerosols is in their role in the formation of cloud particles and precipitation. Field observations of the effects of aerosols on clouds and precipitation will be critically reviewed. Suggestions will be made for studies to further elucidate these effects.
