The hypothesis that areas of high oceanic productivity affect the physical properties of shallow marine clouds via the production of secondary organic aerosols is evaluated using satellite data. The correlation between chlorophyll a concentrations, an indication of oceanic productivity, and low cloud droplet liquid phase effective radius (R e ) is examined for several ocean regions and time periods. While a strong correlation between chlorophyll a and low R e can occur for specific periods in some locations, the correlation is not reproducible in other regions and time periods. The intermittent correlation between high concentrations of chlorophyll a and low R e is a coincidence and is not representative of a dominant, monotonic, causative relation between secondary organic aerosols and marine shallow cloud properties.
