This session comprises invited contributions discussing the greatest observational needs to advance understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions and their connections with climate. In particular, presenters are asked to address the ways in which observations can be used to evaluate and advance understanding of cloud-active particles and their impacts on clouds and precipitation, and how processes within numerical models can be better represented via insights from new observational strategies.
