The high-velocity clouds and the Magellanic Clouds [PDF]

, 2004
From an analysis of the sky and velocity distributions of the high-velocity clouds (HVCs) we show that the majority of the HVCs has a common origin. We conclude that the HVCs surround the Galaxy, forming a metacloud of 300 kpc in size and with a mass of ...

Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulations of Thermal-Gravitational Instability in Protogalactic Halo Environment [PDF]

, 2005
We study thermal-gravitational instability in simplified models for protogalactic halos using three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations. The simulations followed the evolution of gas with radiative cooling down to T = 10^4 K, background heating, and ...

Retrieving Cloud Sensitivity to Aerosol Using Ship Emissions in Overcast Conditions

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The interaction between aerosols and clouds is one of the major uncertainties in past climate change, affecting the accuracy of future climate projections. Ship tracks, trails left in clouds through the addition of aerosol in the ship exhaust plume, have

Simulations of Infrared Radiances over a Deep Convective Cloud System Observed during TC4: Potential for Enhancing Nocturnal Ice Cloud Retrievals

Remote Sensing, 2012
Retrievals of ice cloud properties using infrared measurements at 3.7, 6.7, 7.3, 8.5, 10.8, and 12.0 mm can provide consistent results regardless of solar illumination, but are limited to cloud optical thicknesses t < ~6.

Assessment of MISR and MODIS cloud top heights through inter-comparison with a back-scattering lidar at SIRTA [PDF]

, 2004
One year of back-scattering lidar cloud boundaries and optical depth were analysed for coincident inter-comparison with the latest processed versions of the NASA-TERRA MISR stereo and MODIS CO2-slicing operational cloud top heights. Optically thin clouds

The Impacts of Smoke Emitted from Boreal Forest Wildfires on the High Latitude Radiative Energy Budget—A Case Study of the 2002 Yakutsk Wildfires

Atmosphere, 2018
We examine the 2002 Yakutsk wildfire event and simulate the impacts of smoke aerosols on local radiative energy budget, using the WRF-Chem-SMOKE model.

The Launching of Cold Clouds by Galaxy Outflows II: The Role of Thermal Conduction

, 2016
We explore the impact of electron thermal conduction on the evolution of radiatively-cooled cold clouds embedded in flows of hot and fast material, as occur in outflowing galaxies.

Convective Couplings With Equatorial Rossby Waves and Equatorial Kelvin Waves: 3. Variations of Clouds and Their Radiative Effects

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Utilizing spaceborne cloud radar and lidar (CloudSat/CALIPSO) observation products, we examine vertical distributions of clouds and quantify their radiative effects associated with equatorial Rossby and Kelvin waves. The most important result is that the
