Weak liquid water path response in ship tracks

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors investigate the LWP response to an aerosol perturbation, using ship tracks as our "natural experiment" to disentangle the meteorological covariance. The authors investigate any false signals seen in the null-experiment composite; moreover, by considering an alternative null-experiment methodology, the authors isolate the cause of the false signal, revealing the importance of considering the background gradients in the cloud properties when analysing ship tracks. The authors investigate the conditions controlling the sign and magnitude of the response and use the corrected Nd and LWP responses to place an estimate on the radiative forcing . . .
