Ten Years of Aerosol Effects on Single-Layer Overcast Clouds over the US Southern Great Plains and the China Loess Plateau

<div>(a) Aerosol optical depth for different aerosol types from the MACC reanalysis (2003–2015) and monthly mean absorbing aerosol index from the OMI (2004–2015) (b), aerosol optical depth of dust (c), and sulphate (d) from MACC at the SGP (in red) and SACOL (in blue) sites. The total AOD at each site is given in the upper right corner of (a). Error bars in (b-d) show the standard deviations.</div>
