Direct and semi-direct impacts of absorbing biomass burning aerosol on the climate of southern Africa: a Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory GCM sensitivity study [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2010 Tropospheric aerosols emitted from biomass burning reduce solar radiation at the surface and locally heat the atmosphere. Equilibrium simulations using an atmospheric general circulation model (GFDL AGCM) indicate that strong atmospheric absorption from ...

Atmosphere, 2020 The electrical state of the surface atmosphere changes significantly under the influence of cloudiness and atmospheric phenomena, including atmospheric precipitation. These features can be used for possible diagnostics of precipitation and improvement of

Brief Communication: Earthquake–cloud coupling through the global atmospheric electric circuit [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 We illustrate how coupling could occur between surface air and clouds via the global electric circuit – through Atmospheric Lithosphere–Ionosphere Charge Exchange (ALICE) processes – in an attempt to develop a physical understanding of the possible ...

Circular polarization signals of cloudy (exo)planets
, 2018 The circular polarization of light that planets reflect is often neglected because it is very small compared to the linear polarization. It could, however, provide information on a planet's atmosphere and surface, and on the presence of life, because ...

Retrievals of thick cloud optical depth from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) by calibration of solar background signal [PDF]
, 2008 Laser beams emitted from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS), as well as other spaceborne laser instruments, can only penetrate clouds to a limit of a few optical depths.

Investigation of Titan’s South Polar HCN Cloud during Southern Fall Using Microphysical Modeling
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Ice clouds in Titan’s polar stratosphere are implicated in radiative heating and cooling and in transporting volatile organic compounds from where they form in the upper atmosphere to the surface of the moon.

An Optical Flow Approach to Tracking Ship Track Behavior Using GOES-R Satellite Imagery
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022 Ship emissions can form linear cloud structures, or ship tracks, when atmospheric water vapor condenses on aerosols in the ship exhaust. These structures are of interest because they are observable and traceable examples of MCB, a mechanism that has been

Tropospheric phase delay in interferometric synthetic aperture radar estimated from meteorological model and multispectral imagery [PDF]
, 2007 ENVISAT Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer Instrument (MERIS) multispectral data and the mesoscale meteorological model MM5 are used to estimate the tropospheric phase delay in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferograms.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Studies of exoplanetary atmospheres have found no definite correlations between observed high-altitude aerosols and other system parameters. This could be, in part, because of the lack of homogeneous exoplanet samples for which specific parameters can be
