Evaluation of Pulse Aerosol Forcing on Marine Stratocumulus Clouds in the Context of Marine Cloud Brightening

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2023
We explore the effect of aerosol perturbations on stratocumulus clouds in the context of marine cloud brightening (MCB) using high-resolution large-eddy simulations.

Vertical Variation of Turbulent Entrainment Mixing Processes in Marine Stratocumulus Clouds Using High‐Resolution Digital Holography

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021
Marine stratocumulus clouds contribute significantly to the Earth's radiation budget due to their extensive coverage and high albedo. Yet, subgrid variability in cloud properties, such as aerosol concentration, droplet number, and precipitation rates ...

Marine stratocumulus structure

Remote Sensing of Environment, 1989
Thirty-three Landsat TM scenes of California stratocumulus cloud fields were acquired as part of the FIRE Marine Stratocumulus Intensive Field Observations in July 1987. They exhibit a wide variety of stratocumulus structures. Analysis has so far focused upon the July 7 scene, in which aircraft from NASA, NCAR, and the British Meteorological Office ...

Locally narrow droplet size distributions are ubiquitous in stratocumulus clouds

Science
Marine stratocumulus clouds are the “global reflectors,” sharply contrasting with the underlying dark ocean surface and exerting a net cooling on Earth’s climate.

Effects of intermittent aerosol forcing on the stratocumulus-to-cumulus transition

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
. We explore the role of intermittent aerosol forcing (e.g., injections associated with marine cloud brightening) in the stratocumulus-to-cumulus transition (SCT).

Microphysical properties of stratocumulus clouds

Atmospheric Research, 2000
Data collected in situ with the Meteo-France Merlin-IV instrumented aircraft during the EUCREX mission 206 are analyzed to document cloud properties that are relevant to the calculation of cloud radiative properties. Ascents and descents through the cloud layer reveal that most of the vertical profiles of liquid water content (LWC) and droplet sizes ...

Marine stratocumulus climatologies

International Journal of Climatology, 1991
AbstractConditions favourable to the formation and maintenance of marine stratocumulus cloud decks commonly occur in the subtropical latitudes off the west coasts of the major continents. The cloud decks over the eastern North and South Pacific and the eastern South Atlantic are well‐established examples of the phenomenon; the eastern North Atlantic ...
