气溶胶颗粒上云滴的形成，技术上称为云凝结核（CCN）的激活，是驱动气溶胶与云和降水相互作用的基本过程。政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）和十年调查表明，云如何适应气溶胶扰动的不确定性主导了人类活动引起的辐射强迫总体量化的不确定性。目前的卫星测量可以确定云颗粒尺寸的粗略轮廓，但不能确定孕育它们的激活的 CCN。地球研究人员的云、危害和气溶胶调查 (CHASER) 任务概念响应了 IPCC 和十年调查的关注，利用新技术和高遗产仪器来测量生成第一个激活的 CCN 的全球调查地图以及与之相关的云的特性所需的所有数量。 CHASER 还确定激活的 CCN...
The formation of cloud droplets on aerosol particles, technically known as the activation of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), is the fundamental process driving the interactions of aerosols with clouds and precipitation. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Decadal Survey indicate that the uncertainty in how clouds adjust to aerosol perturbations dominates the uncertainty in the overall quantification of the radiative forcing attributable to human activities. Measurements by current satellites allow the determination of crude profiles of cloud particle size, but not of the activated CCN that seed them. The Clouds, Hazards, and Aerosols Survey for Earth Researchers (CHASER) mission concept responds to the IPCC and Decadal Survey concerns, utilizing a new technique and high-heritage instruments to measure all the quantities necessary to produce the first global survey maps of activated CCN and the properties of the clouds associated with them. CHASER also determines the activated CCN...
