Abstract
The aerosol-cloud interaction (hereafter ACI) has been recognized as one of the most uncertain processes in the current climate system. In this paper, several observational studies using active satellite sensors( CloudSat and CALIPSO) on ACI are introduced such as cloud behaviors, cloud classification, precipitation susceptibility, invigoration, buffer-system and cloud phase issues. Although the recent understanding on ACI is advancing, invigoration-related problems are particularly elusive. Synergetic efforts among observations, laboratory experiments and numerical modeling are strongly desired towards the deeper understanding on ACI, especially for mixed-phase and ice clouds whose ACI mechanisms are much more complicated than those of water clouds.
