An emulator approach to stratocumulus susceptibility [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019
. The climatic relevance of aerosol–cloud interactions depends on the sensitivity of the radiative effect of clouds to cloud droplet number N, and liquid water path LWP.

Stratocumulus adjustments to aerosol perturbations disentangled with a causal approach

open access: yesnpj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023
A large fraction of the uncertainty around future global warming is due to the cooling effect of aerosol-liquid cloud interactions, and in particular to the elusive sign of liquid water path (LWP) adjustments to aerosol perturbations.

Life Cycle of Stratocumulus Clouds over one Year at the Coast of the Atacama Desert

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022
. Marine stratocumulus clouds of the Eastern Pacific play an essential role in the Earth's energy and radiation budget. Parts of these clouds off the west coast of South America form the major source of water to the hyper-arid Atacama Desert coastal ...

Dispersion of Droplet Size Distributions in Supercooled Non‐precipitating Stratocumulus from Aircraft Observations Obtained during the Southern Ocean Cloud Radiation Aerosol Transport Experimental Study

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021
The characteristics of cloud droplet size distributions and statistical relations of the relative dispersion (ε) with the vertical velocity (w) and with the interstitial aerosol concentration (Nia) are investigated for ubiquitous supercooled shallow ...

On the Trend in Below-Cloud Solar Irradiance in The Netherlands versus That in Aerosol Sulfate Concentration

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2022
The below-cloud irradiance in The Netherlands increased by over 10 Wm−2 in the past half century. It was hypothesized that this could be due to a decrease in the aerosol serving as cloud condensation nuclei, on which the cloud droplets form, in the ...

Wind, Rain, and the Closed to Open Cell Transition in Subtropical Marine Stratocumulus

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2022
Lagrangian transitions in mesoscale cellular convective (MCC) clouds beginning as closed cell MCC and transitioning to open cells or disorganized but cellular MCC are explored on timescales from 12 to 72 hr. Potential drivers of MCC transitions are shown

High Free‐Tropospheric Aitken‐Mode Aerosol Concentrations Buffer Cloud Droplet Concentrations in Large‐Eddy Simulations of Precipitating Stratocumulus

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022
A new Aitken mode aerosol microphysics scheme is developed for a large eddy simulation model in order to better investigate cloud‐aerosol interactions in the marine boundary layer and to study the Aitken buffering hypothesis of McCoy et al. (2021), https:

New insights on the prevalence of drizzle in marine stratocumulus clouds based on a machine learning algorithm applied to radar Doppler spectra

open access: yes, 2022
. The detection of the early growth of drizzle particles in marine stratocumulus clouds is important for studying the transition from cloud water to rainwater.
