AB  - <jats:p>&lt;p&gt;Aerosol&amp;#8211;cloud interactions in marine stratocumulus clouds (Sc) are among the most challenging frontiers in cloud&amp;#8211;climate research.&amp;#160;In particular, the cloud cover susceptibility to droplet concentration remained under-represented in the literature.&amp;#160;We developed methodologies to estimate what&amp;#160;would have been the cloud cover and&amp;#160;the associated&amp;#160;radiative&amp;#160;&lt;span&gt;effect&lt;/span&gt; of currently observed Sc, but in a hypothetical cleaner world. The first methodology uses a realistic Lagrangian large eddy simulation coupled with satellite observations and provides a process-oriented analysis. The other uses a &lt;span&gt;simple&lt;/span&gt; model and provides a global estimate of the radiative impact. We found that overcast Sc decks would have broken up sooner had they not been influenced by anthropogenic aerosol, thereby causing a significant effective radiative forcing.&lt;/p&gt;</jats:p>
