Atmosphere, 2022 Snow cover area is dramatically decreasing across the Los Andes Mountains and the most relevant water reservoir under drought conditions. In this sense, monitoring of snow cover is key to analyzing the hydrologic balance in snowmelt-driven basins.

Vertical grid refinement for stratocumulus clouds in the radiation scheme of the global climate model ECHAM6.3-HAM2.3-P3 [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2021 In this study, we implement a vertical grid refinement scheme in the radiation routine of the global aerosol–climate model ECHAM-HAM, aiming to improve the representation of stratocumulus clouds and address the underestimation of their cloud cover.

Seasonal cycle of cloud cover analyzed using Meteosat images [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1998 A cloud-detection method was used to retrieve cloudy pixels from Meteosat images. High spatial resolution (one pixel), monthly averaged cloud-cover distribution was obtained for a 1-year period. The seasonal cycle of cloud amount was analyzed.

Correction method by introducing cloud cover forecast factor in model temperature forecast
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Objective temperature forecast products can achieve better forecast quality by using one-dimensional regression correction directly based on the present model temperature forecast product, and the forecast accuracy can be further improved by adding ...

Observed trends in clouds and precipitation (1983–2009): implications for their cause(s) [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 Satellite observations (International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP), 1983–2009) of linear trends in cloud cover are compared to those in global precipitation (Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) pentad V2.2, 1983–2009), to ...

Absorbing aerosol decreases cloud cover in cloud-resolving simulations over Germany [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2020 <p>Here, we present investigations on the impact of absorbing aerosol particles on cloud and radiation fields over Germany. Using advanced high-resolution simulations with grid spacings of 312 and 625 m, numerical experiments with different aerosol optical properties are contrasted using purely-scattering aerosol as control case and ...

Cloud cover: monitoring large-scale clouds with Varanus [PDF]
Journal of Cloud Computing, 2015 Cloud computing has quickly become the de facto means to deploy large scale systems in a robust and cost effective manner. Central to the maintenance of large scale systems is monitoring which allows for the detection of faults, errors and anomalies and the enacting of optimisation and corrective measures.

Understanding London's summertime cloud cover [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2021 AbstractCities are a source of complex land–atmosphere interactions. Spatial differences in the energy balance and enhanced surface roughness interact with the atmosphere to alter clouds and precipitation. Here, we explore how London (UK) alters cloud formation during the spring and summer. The Met Office's high‐resolution operational forecasts predict
