“…In the present study we therefore focus on both the microphysical and the dynamic aspects, by analysing the uncertainties related to the assumptions on aviation soot INP characteristics and exploring the impact of different (simplified) representations of the dynamic forcing in the model. We stress again that the main goal of this study is (Möhler et al, 2005;Koehler et al, 2009;Crawford et al, 2011;Kanji et al, 2011;Chou et al, 2013;Kulkarni et al, 2016;Mahrt et al, 2018;Nichman et al, 2019;Mahrt et al, 2020) compared with the values assumed in model studies on the impact of aviation soot on cirrus (Hendricks et al, 2005;Penner et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2009;Hendricks et al, 2011;Gettelman and Chen, 2013;Zhou and Penner, 2014;Penner et al, 2018;Zhu and Penner, 2020). The parameters explored in this study are symbolized with stars.…”
