Clouds and Seasonality on Terrestrial Planets with Varying Rotation Rates

The Astrophysical Journal
Using an idealized climate model incorporating seasonal forcing, we investigate the impact of rotation rate on the abundance of clouds on an Earth-like aquaplanet, and the resulting impacts upon albedo and seasonality. We show that the cloud distribution

Earth observations from DSCOVR EPIC instrument [PDF]

, 2018
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) spacecraft was launched on 11 February 2015 and in June 2015 achieved its orbit at the first Lagrange point (L1), 1.5 million km from Earth toward the sun.

A One-dimensional Microphysical Model of the Venus Cloud System between 40 and 80 km Including Photochemistry and Radiative-dynamic Feedback

The Planetary Science Journal
We present results from 1D simulations using PlanetCARMA for Venus in which, for the first time, a sophisticated 1D cloud microphysics model has simultaneously incorporated simplified diurnally varying photochemistry, parameterized diurnally varying ...

One-dimensional Microphysics Model of Venusian Clouds from 40 to 100 km: Impact of the Middle-atmosphere Eddy Transport and SOIR Temperature Profile on the Cloud Structure

The Planetary Science Journal
We conducted a simulation of H _2 SO _4 vapor, H _2 O vapor, and H _2 SO _4 –H _2 O liquid aerosols from 40 to 100 km, using a 1D Venus cloud microphysics model based on the one detailed in Imamura & Hashimoto.

How Well Do Large‐Eddy Simulations and Global Climate Models Represent Observed Boundary Layer Structures and Low Clouds Over the Summertime Southern Ocean?

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020
Climate models struggle to accurately represent the highly reflective boundary layer clouds overlying the remote and stormy Southern Ocean. We use in situ aircraft observations from the Southern Ocean Clouds, Radiation and Aerosol Transport Experimental ...
