Revisiting global satellite observations of stratospheric cirrus clouds [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020
As knowledge about the cirrus clouds in the lower stratosphere is limited, reliable long-term measurements are needed to assess their characteristics, radiative impact and important role in upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) chemistry.

The Expected Impact of Multiple Scattering on ATLID Signals

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
ATLID stands for “ATmospheric LIDar” and is the lidar to be flown on the Earth Clouds and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) platform in 2018. ATLID is a High-Spectral Resolution (HSRL) system operating at 355nm with a narrower field-of-view and lower orbit ...

Dominant Biases in Atmospheric Radiative Heating Rates in Global Climate Models

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract The Earth's energy budget is fundamental to climate, and its accurate simulations in global climate models (GCMs) are essential for climate projections. While studies have validated energy budget at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) and surface, the layer‐wise atmospheric energy budget remains largely unexplored because of limited observations ...

CORRECTION FOR THE CIRRUS CLOUD TOP HEIGHT OF MODIS BASED ON CALIPSO IN BEIJING-TIANJIN-HEBEI REGION [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2019
Cirrus plays an important role in atmospheric radiation. It affects weather system and climate change. Satellite remote sensing is an important kind of observation for cloud.

Uncertainty of SYNOP Cloud Classifications by Human Observers

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Operational cloud classification is subjective to some extent and should not be used without quality control for example, to train automatized methods. Inter‐observer agreement depends on the sky conditions, the nature of the observation (image‐based or on‐site), the framework under which it is conducted (sky snippets for gold standard atlases vs ...

One year of CNR-IMAA multi-wavelength Raman lidar measurements in coincidence with CALIPSO overpasses: Level 1 products comparison [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2009
At CNR-IMAA, an aerosol lidar system has operated since May 2000 in the framework of EARLINET (European Aerosol Research Lidar Network), the first lidar network for tropospheric aerosol study on a continental scale.

Toward an Improved Understanding of the Antarctic Coastal Zone and Its Contribution to Future Global Sea Level

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

Detection of dust aerosol by combining CALIPSO active lidar and passive IIR measurements [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2010
The version 2 Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) dust layer detection method, which is based only on lidar measurements, misclassified about 43% dust layers (mainly dense dust layers) as cloud layers over the ...

Projected AMOC Weakening Controls Future Diatom Decline in the Subpolar North Atlantic Ocean

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Climate models consistently project a decline in diatom net primary production (NPP) under high‐emission scenarios in the highly productive subpolar North Atlantic. However, the magnitude of this decline remains highly uncertain and varies substantially across models, limiting our ability to anticipate its ecological and biogeochemical ...
