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 ...

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

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

A new method for evaluating the impact of vertical distribution on aerosol radiative forcing in general circulation models [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2014 The quantification and understanding of direct aerosol forcing is essential in the study of climate. One of the main issues that makes its quantification difficult is the lack of a complete understanding of the role of the vertical distribution of ...

CHARACTERIZATION OF CLOUDS IN TITAN'S TROPICAL ATMOSPHERE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 Images of Titan's clouds, possible over the past 10 years, indicate primarily discrete convective methane clouds near the south and north poles and an immense stratiform cloud, likely composed of ethane, around the north pole. Here we present spectral images from Cassini's Visual Mapping Infrared Spectrometer that reveal the increasing presence of ...

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.
