Confronting the Challenge of Modeling Cloud and Precipitation Microphysics

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020
In the atmosphere, microphysics refers to the microscale processes that affect cloud and precipitation particles and is a key linkage among the various components of Earth's atmospheric water and energy cycles.

Terrestrial or marine – indications towards the origin of ice-nucleating particles during melt season in the European Arctic up to 83.7° N [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021
Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) initiate the primary ice formation in clouds at temperatures above ca. −38 ∘C and have an impact on precipitation formation, cloud optical properties, and cloud persistence. Despite their roles in both weather and climate,

The impact of temperature inversions on black carbon and particle mass concentrations in a mountainous area [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022
Residential wood combustion is a widespread practice in Europe with a serious impact on air quality, especially in mountainous areas. While there is a significant number of studies conducted in deep urbanized valleys and basins, little is known about the

A Multi-Year Study of GOES-13 Droplet Effective Radius Retrievals for Warm Clouds over South America and Southeast Pacific

Atmosphere, 2022
Geostationary satellites can retrieve the cloud droplet effective radius (re) but suffer biases from cloud inhomogeneities, internal retrieval nonlinearities, and 3-D scattering/shadowing from neighboring clouds, among others.
