interaction processes for Earth System Models (ESMs). The successful applicants will improve the process-level understanding of roles of aerosol and aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions in the Earth System and reduce the uncertainties in aerosol radiative
forcing and cloud radiative feedbacks estimated from ESMs. </span><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
