Satellite-derived cloud and radiation fields over the marine stratocumulus IFO [PDF]
The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) is the only source for nearly continuous areal coverage of clouds within the California marine stratocumulus region.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract We present a method for retrieving cloud optical depth that applies 3D radiative transfer to utilize the combination of polarimetry and multi‐spectral imagery that is newly available from satellite missions such as the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, Ocean, Ecosystem (PACE) Mission. Due to the approximate spectral invariance of scattering by clouds,

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2017 How subtropical marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds respond to warming is investigated using large‐eddy simulations (LES) of a wide range of warmer climates, with CO2 concentrations elevated by factors 2–16. In LES coupled to a slab ocean with interactive

Cloud spatial structure during the FIRE MS IFO [PDF]
The fractal properties of clouds observed during the FIRE Marine Stratocumulus Intensive Field Observations (MS IFO) and their effects on the large scale radiative properties of the atmosphere are examined.

Exploring precipitation processes in stratocumulus clouds from satellite-derived cloud properties
, 2021 Marine stratocumulus clouds are low-level convective clouds that develop within the marine atmospheric boundary layer and have a large impact on the global radiation budget and hydrological cycle. Drizzle plays an important but complicated role in their longevity and microphysical properties.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract We investigate the 1D reflectance distribution of shallow cumulus as a function of cloud size, using high‐spatial‐resolution observations from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). Reflectance transects through clouds are compared between Inner Mongolia and Tropical Ocean.

The importance of stratocumulus clouds for projected warming patterns and circulation changes [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsStratocumulus clouds are thought to exert a strong positive radiative feedback on climate change, but recent analyses suggest that this feedback is widely under-represented in global climate models.

On the Structure of the Lower Troposphere in the Summertime Stratocumulus Regime of the Northeast Pacific [PDF]
, 2007 Data collected in situ as part of the second field study of the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus field program are used to evaluate the state of the atmosphere in the region of field operations near 30°N, 120°W during July 2001, as well as ...

Comparing the simulated influence of biomass burning plumes on low-level clouds over the southeastern Atlantic under varying smoke conditions [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsBiomass burning plumes are frequently transported over the southeast Atlantic (SEA) stratocumulus deck during the southern African fire season (June–October). The plumes bring large amounts of absorbing aerosols and enhanced moisture, which can trigger a

Overlooked examples of cloud self-organization at the mesoscale [PDF]
, 2004 Stratocumulus clouds are common in the tropical and subtropical marine boundary layer, and understanding these clouds is important due to their significant impact on the earth's radiation budget.
