Characteristics of Immersion Freezing Ice Nucleating Particles During Dust Season in Beijing
Abstract Atmospheric dust is a primary source of ice nucleating particles (INPs), yet their concentrations at temperatures warmer than −20°C are not fully characterized during Asian dust events. This study uses a membrane filtering method to collect aerosol samples and a droplet freezing method to measure daily immersion‐mode INP concentrations in ...

Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Would Change Cloud Brightness
Intentional modification of the sunlight reflected back to space by Earth has received increasing attention as a potential tool to combat the current climate crisis.

Toward data assimilation of ship-induced aerosol–cloud interactions
Satellite imagery can detect temporary cloud trails or ship tracks formed from aerosols emitted from large ships traversing our oceans, a phenomenon that global climate models cannot directly reproduce. Ship tracks are observable examples of marine cloud

Cloud Microphysics and Drizzle Relationships With CCN Modality in Southern Ocean Stratocumuli
Abstract Extended‐range high resolution cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) modality relationships to cloud microphysics and drizzle of the First Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE 1) were consistent with Physics of Stratocumulus Tops (POST) and Marine Stratus/Stratocumulus Experiment (MASE) observations.

Quantifying the Effectiveness of Multiple SAI Strategies Across Different Dimensions
Abstract Stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) modeling experiments are often designed to keep global mean surface air temperature (GMSAT) close to a reference target, such as early‐century SSP2‐4.5. However, meeting this target does not necessarily restore regional climates or the seasonal and spatial patterns of key variables.

Unexpected failure of regional marine cloud brightening in a warmer world
Abstract Marine cloud brightening is a solar geoengineering1–3 proposal to cool atmospheric temperatures and reduce some impacts of climate change. To-date, modeling studies of solar geoengineering have primarily focused on large-scale schemes with objectives of stabilizing or mediating changes in global mean temperature4–7.

Marine Stratocumulus Clouds With More Coarse Sea Spray Aerosols Are Brighter
The idea of cooling the Earth by marine cloud brightening is well established. All prior studies considered enhancing cloud albedo only with fine aerosols (FA).

Satellite‐Based Global Assessment of Solar Resource Stability
Abstract Satellite spatial smoothing complicates comparisons of solar variability between gridded products and point measurements. We introduce the Stability Deviation Index (SDI), a bounded composite of solar intensity and intraday variability. Applied independently to 69 BSRN stations and co‐located CERES grid cells, SDI shows strong cross‐platform ...
