Abstract Large particle size and thick coatings have been detected in pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb) smoke injected into the lower stratosphere, enhancing both extinction and absorption of smoke. Here, we quantified how particle size and coating, via internal mixing of non‐absorbing species on black carbon, influence pyroCb smoke radiative forcing and ...

Abstract Accurate identification of cloud thermodynamic phases ‐warm water, supercooled water and ice—is essential for the global energy budget and hydrological cycle, and serves as a crucial prerequisite for retrieving cloud optical and microphysical parameters.

Abstract High‐altitude optical meteors initiating above 150 km are exceedingly rare, with confirmed observations largely confined to the Leonids. Using the Meteor and ionospheric Irregularity Observation System, we recorded a bright 43‐Cassiopeiids fireball with heterogeneous material. It initiated luminously at an exceptional altitude of 157.8 ± $\pm $

Abstract Large uncertainties exist for future westward Saharan dust transport with increasing Greenhouse Gas emissions. We evaluate future changes in westward dust transport at the longitude of 18.6°W and a latitude range of 4°N–30°N using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) with the GOCART dust module for the present‐day, with ERA‐Interim

Land‐Ocean Contrast in Low‐Cloud Adiabatic Fraction Modulated by Cloud Thickness and Droplet Size
Abstract Cloud adiabatic fraction (fad) is crucial for understanding cloud microphysics and entrainment mixing. This study presents the first global satellite‐based assessment of land‐ocean contrasts in fad for low‐level clouds. Results show that land clouds have a lower fad (0.22) than oceanic clouds (0.35), consistent across all seasons.

Abstract Satellite observations since 2001 show an increasing Earth's energy imbalance (EEI) at the top of the atmosphere of 0.45 W m−2 dec−1, a trend understated in coupled climate models. We assess the 2001–2024 EEI trend in historical simulations of two high‐resolution coupled models, CM4X, a revised version of CM4.0, and CESM‐HR, a high‐resolution ...

Prevalent Greening Conceals the Forgone Ecological Potential of Forest Loss in Southeast Asia
Abstract Across Southeast Asia (SEA), rapid land‐use transformations have extensively replaced natural forests with fragmented plantations and agricultural mosaics. However, quantifying the ecological legacy of this transformation is hindered by persistent cloud cover and the confounding signal of vegetation growth driven by concurrent environmental ...
