ABSTRACT: Marine low-clouds have a net cooling effect on the planet. They reflect a significant portion of the incoming solar radiation. The high sensitivity of these clouds to aerosol concentration has led to speculations about altering planetary albedo (reflectivity)
by increasing the aerosol concentration. This proposed climate intervention approach is referred to as marine cloud brightening (MCB), where the deliberate injection of sea-spray aerosol particles enhances the albedo of shallow marine low-clouds. We explore
the efficiency of MCB in a warmer climate towards the end of the century. Additionally, we assess the impact of climate change on aerosol-cloud interactions in these clouds.</div>

We use a stratocumulus-to-cumulus transition (SCT) in the Northeast Pacific region as a representative case. Using a Lagrangian large-eddy simulation model, we examine two SCT cases with different free-tropospheric (FT) humidities — moist FT and dry FT. For
each case, we consider two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), SSP3-7.0 and SSP1-2.6, from the most recent Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) to determine the extent of warming and changes in aerosol concentration at the end of the century. We
find that the cloud radiative effect (CRE) in non-precipitating stratocumulus clouds is more susceptible to climate change than to aerosol. However, after the breakup of the cloud deck, the impact of aerosol tends to dominate. Furthermore, in these low-clouds,
aerosol-cloud interactions (Twomey effect and liquid water path adjustments) are to leading order immune to climate change, unless aerosol-induced cloud fraction adjustment is significant. Furthermore, we show that the efficacy of MCB decreases in a warmer
climate due to the reduction in low-cloud cover.</div>
