Potential impacts of marine fuel regulations on an Arctic stratocumulus case and its radiative response by L. F. Escusa dos Santos, L. F. Escusa dos Santos, H. C. Frostenberg, A. Baró Pérez, A. M. L. Ekman, A. M. L. Ekman, L. Ickes, E. S. Thomson

“…Results from laboratory marine engine measurements, which investigated the impact of fuel sulfur content (FSC) reduction and wet scrubbing on exhaust particle properties, motivate the use of large-eddy simulations to further investigate how such particles may influence the micro- and macrophysical properties of a stratiform mixed-phase cloud case observed during the Arctic Summer Cloud Ocean Study campaign. Simulations with diagnostic ice crystal number concentrations revealed that enhancement of ship exhaust particles predominantly affected the liquid-phase properties of the cloud and led to decreased liquid surface precipitation, increased cloud albedo, and increased longwave surface warming. …”
