Aerosol-cloud interaction inferred from MODIS satellite data and global aerosol models [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2007 We have used the MODIS satellite data and two global aerosol models to investigate the relationships between aerosol optical depth (AOD) and cloud parameters that may be affected by the aerosol concentration. The relationships that are studied are mainly

Granger causality of the local Hadley cell and large-scale cloud cover over South Africa
South African Journal of Science, 2019 This study demonstrates that Hadley cell dynamics could be used as a proxy to determine cloud cover and thus solar energy potential over South Africa. Granger causality was used to investigate causal interactions between the Hadley cell and cloud cover ...

Multidecadal changes in near‐global cloud cover and estimated cloud cover radiative forcing [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2005 This study examines variability in zonal mean surface‐observed upper‐level (combined midlevel and high‐level) and low‐level cloud cover over land during 1971–1996 and over ocean during 1952–1997. These data were averaged from individual synoptic reports in the Extended Edited Cloud Report Archive (EECRA).
