A combination of cloud-top and columnar droplet sizes derived from the multi Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) sensors reveals the sensitivity of the aerosols effect on cloud-precipitation processes due to environmental vertical thermodynamic structure. First, the magnitude of aerosol indirect effect could be larger with the analysis of columnar droplet sizes than that derived from the cloud-top droplet sizes since column-droplet size can account for the broader droplet spectra in the cloud layers. Second, a combination of cloud-top and columnar droplet sizes reveals that the warm rain process is prevented regardless of the aerosols concentration under high static stability such as when a strong temperature inversion exists, while a high aerosol concentration suppresses the warm rain formulation under low static stability.
