The parameterization of the interactions are at all levels; from estimation of the geometric characterization of the aerosols, to the numbers of particles, to connections with several important aspects of clouds, and finally to the interactions
with radiative energy transport.
In my opinion aerosols, and their critically important interactions
with radiative energy transport, are among the more inherently complex aspects of real - world, radiative - energy transport in the Earth's atmosphere.
Steve Fitzpatick is summarizing important aspects of
radiative energy transport and its interaction with material in the Earth's atmosphere, at Jeff Id's tAV.
Whereas the added opacity will act to restrict the flow of
radiative energy transport, convection will not allow the temperature gradient to increase.
