Transit Signatures of Inhomogeneous Clouds on Hot Jupiters: Insights from Microphysical Cloud Modeling [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 We determine the observability in transmission of inhomogeneous cloud cover on the limbs of hot Jupiters through post-processing a general circulation model to include cloud distributions computed using a cloud microphysics model.

Assessing Clouds Using Satellite Observations Through Three Generations of Global Atmosphere Models
Earth and Space Science, 2023 Clouds are parameterized in climate models using quantities on the model grid‐scale to approximate the cloud cover and impact on radiation. Because of the complexity of processes involved with clouds, these parameterizations are one of the key challenges

Some New Worldwide Cloud-Cover Models
Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1981 Using daily measurements of day and night infrared, and incoming and absorbed solar radiation obtained from a Tiros satellite over a period of approximately 45 months, and integrated over 2.5 deg latitude-longitude grids, the proportion of cloud cover over each grid each day was derived for the entire period.

The cloud–aerosol–radiation (CAR) ensemble modeling system [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013 A cloud–aerosol–radiation (CAR) ensemble modeling system has been developed to incorporate the largest choices of alternate parameterizations for cloud properties (cover, water, radius, optics, geometry), aerosol properties (type, profile, optics ...

A prognostic model of cloud cover based on Satellite Data
Geophysical Research Letters, 2004 Large uncertainties still remain about the mechanisms of genesis and interaction of clouds in a large scale environment. Through a semi‐empirical dynamical model using hourly data from TOGA‐COARE IOP (130E–180E and 15S–15N, 01.11.91–28.02.92), we show that the convective activity leading to clouds is a self‐regulating, threshold process embedded in a ...

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2021 Radiative cooling is a novel and promising technology in which, heat is radiated through the infrared wavelength (8–13 μm) to the cold outer space, while the incident solar radiation (0.3–4 μm) is reflected.
