Funding

This study was supported by the DLR transport programme (projects Global model studies on the effects of transport-induced aerosols on ice clouds and climate, Transport and the Environment - VEU2, and Transport and Climate - TraK), the DLR space research programme (project Climate relevant trace gases, aerosols and clouds - KliSAW), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy - BMWi (project Digitally optimized Engineering for Services -DoEfS; contract no. 20X1701B), and the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association (project Advanced Earth System Modelling Capacity ESM). Bernadett Weinzierl, Adrian Walser, and Daniel Sauer were supported by funding from the Helmholtz Association under grant VH-NG-606 (Helmholtz-Hochschul-Nachwuchsforschergruppe AerCARE). Furthermore, Bernadett Weinzierl and Adrian Walser have received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Commission Horizon 2020 research and innovation framework programme, ERC Grant Agreement 640458 (A-LIFE). The SALTRACE aircraft measurements in the Caribbean were funded by the Helmholtz Association and DLR. The SALTRACE flights in the Cabo Verde region were funded through the DLR-internal project Volcanic Ash Impact on the Air Transport System (VolcATS).
