In situ characterization of mixed phase clouds using the Small Ice Detector and the Particle Phase Discriminator [PDF]
Mixed phase clouds (MPCs) represent a great source of uncertainty for both climate predictions and weather forecasts. In particular, there is still a lack of understanding on how ice forms in these clouds.

Effective radiative forcing in the aerosol-climate model CAM5.3-MARC-ARG [PDF]
We quantify the effective radiative forcing (ERF) of anthropogenic aerosols modelled by the aerosol-climate model CAM5.3-MARC-ARG. CAM5.3-MARC-ARG is a new configuration of the Community Atmosphere Model version 5.3 (CAM5.3) in which the default aerosol module has been replaced by the two-Moment, Multi-Modal, Mixing-state-resolving Aerosol model for ...

Distinct response of near surface air temperature to clouds in North China
Cloud weakens Tmax and increases Tmin, and thus decreases daily temperature range (DTR), which is mainly due to the blocking effects of clouds to downwelling solar radiation and trapping effects to upwelling longwave radiation. However, the relative impacts of clouds on Tmax and Tmin vary with locations, with relatively stronger impact on Tmin and DTR ...

Aerosol Characteristics at a High Altitude Location in Central Himalayas: Optical Properties and Radiative Forcing [PDF]
Collocated measurements of the mass concentrations of aerosol black carbon (BC) and composite aerosols near the surface were carried out along with spectral aerosol optical depths (AODs) from a high altitude station, Manora Peak in Central Himalayas, during a comprehensive aerosol field campaign in December 2004.

Black Carbon Contribution to the Aerosol Phase and its Scavenged Fraction in Mixed Phase Clouds at the High Alpine Site Jungfraujoch (3580m asl) [PDF]
The mass fraction of black carbon (BC) in the atmospheric aerosol and its mixing state are important for the direct aerosol climate effect. These properties also determine if BC is incorporated into cloud hydrometeors (i.e. droplets and ice crystals) and

A global perspective on aerosol from low-volatility organic compounds [PDF]
Global production of organic aerosol from primary emissions of semivolatile (SVOCs) and intermediate (IVOCs) volatility organic compounds is estimated using the global chemical transport model, GEOS-Chem. SVOC oxidation is predicted to be a larger global
