<br/><br/> Absorbing aerosols are among the most significant climatic agents whose role in modulating<br/>Earth’s climate is still poorly understood. They absorb light, thereby reducing the surface- reaching solar radiation and heat their surroundings, resulting in modulation of atmospheric<br/><br/>temperature and moisture profile. Thus these particles affect the micro and macrophysical<br/>properties of the cloud without participating in droplet formation. However, as particles spend<br/>more time in the atmosphere and interact with the other particles and gases, they may attain<br/>higher hygroscopicity. In consequence, they possess a range of hygroscopicity and also directly<br/>modulate the ambient environment. Hence contrary to scattering counterpart, absorbing aerosols<br/>show more complex interactions with clouds, thereby exacerbating the uncertainty in estimating<br/>radiative forcing associated with aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI). This dissertation investigates<br/>some aspects of absorbing (with a specific focus on mineral dust) aerosols and warm-cloud<br/>interactions using satellite observations, reanalysis data, and state-of-the-art numerical models.
