Sling effect in collisions of water droplets in turbulent clouds

, 2006
We describe and evaluate the contribution of sling effect into the collision rate of the same-size water droplets in turbulent clouds. We show that already for Stokes numbers exceeding 0.2 the sling effect gives a contribution comparable to Saffman ...

Quantifying wet scavenging processes in aircraft observations of nitric acid and cloud condensation nuclei [PDF]

, 2006
Wet scavenging is an important sink term for many atmospheric constituents. However, production of precipitation in clouds is poorly understood, and pollutant removal through wet scavenging is difficult to separate from removal through dry scavenging ...

ELemental Abundances of Planets and Brown Dwarfs Imaged around Stars (ELPIS). II. The Jupiter-like Inhomogeneous Atmosphere of the First Directly Imaged Planetary-mass Companion 2MASS 1207 b

The Astronomical Journal
2MASS 1207 b, the first directly imaged planetary-mass companion, has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of exoplanets and brown dwarfs over the past 20 yr.

A comparison of chemistry and dust cloud formation in ultracool dwarf model atmospheres [PDF]

, 2008
The atmospheres of substellar objects contain clouds of oxides, iron, silicates, and other refractory condensates. Water clouds are expected in the coolest objects.

Atmospheric brown cloud report

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2008
The combined effects of human‐ made atmospheric brown clouds (ABCs) and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are having broad‐based impacts, including causing some cities to get darker, contributing to faster melting of some glaciers, masking the effects of climate change, and having negative effects on agriculture and air quality, according to a 13 ...

Radiative Effects of Water Clouds on Heat, Cloud Microphysical and Surface Rainfall Budgets Associated with Pre-Summer Torrential Rainfall

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2014
This study investigates thermal, cloud microphysical and surface-rainfall responses to the radiative effects of water clouds by analyzing two pairs of two-dimensional cloud-resolving model sensitivity experiments of a pre-summer heavy rainfall event.

INFERENCE OF INHOMOGENEOUS CLOUDS IN AN EXOPLANET ATMOSPHERE [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2013
We present new visible and infrared observations of the hot Jupiter Kepler-7b to determine its atmospheric properties. Our analysis allows us to 1) refine Kepler-7b's relatively large geometric albedo of Ag=0.35+-0.02, 2) place upper limits on Kepler-7b thermal emission that remains undetected in both Spitzer bandpasses and 3) report a westward shift ...
