The Atmospheric Chemistry of GJ 1214b: Photochemistry and Clouds [PDF]

, 2011
Recent observations of the transiting super-Earth GJ 1214b reveal that its atmosphere may be hydrogen-rich or water-rich in nature, with clouds or hazes potentially affecting its transmission spectrum in the optical and very-near-IR.

Preface to the Special Issue on Climate-Chemistry Interactions: Atmospheric Ozone, Aerosols, and Clouds over East Asia

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2007
Atmospheric radiatively-important chemical constituents (e.g., O3 and aerosols) are important to maintain the radiation balance of the Earth-atmosphere climate system, and changes in their concentration due to both natural causes and anthropogenic ...

Cloud-convection feedback in brown dwarfs atmosphere

The Astrophysical Journal, 2022
. IntroductionBrown dwarfs are object between giant planets and star in term of mass, numerous observations suggest active meteorology. A near-infrared brightness variability is observed among L and T dwarfs. Several atmospheric dynamics have been proposed, but the mechanisms remain unclear.

Cloud Formation in Exoplanetary Atmospheres

, 2023
This invited review for young researchers presents key ideas on cloud formation as key part for virtual laboratories for exoplanet atmospheres. The basic concepts are presented, followed by utilising a time-scale analysis to disentangle process hierarchies.

Natural factor impact on atmospheric electric field variations in Kamchatka

E3S Web of Conferences, 2017
The paper briefly describes a site network which registers atmospheric electric field strength (AEF V’). The scheme of natural processes affecting the formation of the local atmospheric electric field is considered.

Clouds in the Martian Atmosphere [PDF]

, 2021
Although resembling an extremely dry desert, planet Mars hosts clouds in its atmosphere. Every day somewhere on the planet a part of the tiny amount of water vapor held by the atmosphere can condense as ice crystals to form mainly cirrus-type clouds. The existence of water ice clouds has been known for a long time and they have been studied for decades,

Cloud optical depth retrievals from the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) cloud mode observations [PDF]

, 2010
Cloud optical depth is one of the most poorly observed climate variables. The new “cloud mode” capability in the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) will inexpensively yet dramatically increase cloud optical depth observations in both number and accuracy ...

Cloud formation in substellar atmospheres [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009
Clouds seem like an every-day experience. But -- do we know how clouds form on brown dwarfs and extra-solar planets? How do they look like? Can we see them? What are they composed of? Cloud formation is an old-fashioned but still outstanding problem for the Earth atmosphere, and it has turned into a challenge for the modelling of brown dwarf and exo ...
