Funding

We thank M. Dollner and B. Weinzierl for cloud particle measurements to exclude cloudy flight segments; M. Richardson, F. Erdesz and D. Thomson for technical support; and D. Cziczo for valuable input. The ATom mission was supported by NASA’s Earth System Science Pathfinder Program EVS-2 funding. Participation in the ATom mission by K.D.F., G.P.S., C.J.W., C.A.B., D.M.M. and E.R. was supported by NOAA climate funding and NASA award NNH15AB12I. P.Y. was supported by the second Tibetan Plateau Scientific Expedition and Research Program (STEP, 2019QZKK0604). The CESM project is supported partly by the National Science Foundation. A.K. was supported by the Austrian Science Fund’s Erwin Schrodinger Fellowship J-3613. GEOS development in the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office is funded by NASA’s Modeling, Analysis and Prediction (MAP) program. Resources supporting GEOS were provided by the NASA High-End Computing (HEC) Program through the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) at Goddard Space Flight Center. H.B. was supported by NASA award NNX17AG31G. P.R.C. was supported by the MAP-funded Chemistry-Climate Modeling (CCM) project (600-17-6985).
