                         properties, ultrafine aerosol particles were recently linked to 
                         convection invigoration in the Amazon. However, current models may 
                         fail to reproduce this feature because they are based on a 
                         standardized aerosol size distribution shape. We use the number 
                         concentration-effective diameter phase space to test the 
                         sensitivities of cloud-top evolution to variations in the main 
                         parameters related to the aerosol effect in models, such as the 
                         aerosol size distribution, number concentration and 
                         hygroscopicity. It is shown that the cloud-top evolution can be 
                         very sensitive to aerosol properties, but the relative importance 
                         of each parameter is variable. Moreover, we show that aerosol 
                         properties, such as the size distribution shape and 
                         hygroscopicity, can have impacts as significant as the particle 
                         number concentration on cloud microphysical properties, especially 
                         if the median radius of the aerosol size distribution is smaller 
                         that 0.05 microns.",
