Comparison of a global-climate model to a cloud-system resolving model for the long-term response of thin stratocumulus clouds to preindustrial and present-day aerosol conditions [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2010 The response of a case of thin, warm marine-boundary-layer (MBL) clouds to preindustrial (PI) and present-day (PD) conditions is simulated by a cloud-system resolving model (CSRM).

First Observational Perspectives of “Millipede Clouds” Over the Eastern Pacific Ocean
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The fundamental features of one kind of rarely known stratocumulus, which was termed as “Millipede Cloud,” occurred over the Eastern Pacific Ocean in 2017 were first documented by using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite ...

A global survey of cloud overlap based on CALIPSO and CloudSat measurements [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015 Using 2B-CLDCLASS-LIDAR (radar–lidar) cloud classification and 2B-FLXHR-LIDAR radiation products from CloudSat over 4 years, this study evaluates the co-occurrence frequencies of different cloud types, analyzes their along-track horizontal scales and ...

Cloud Processing of Aerosol Particles in Marine Stratocumulus Clouds [PDF]
Atmosphere, 2019 Cloud processing of aerosol particles is an important process and is, for example, thought to be responsible for the so-called “Hoppel-minimum” in the marine aerosol particle distribution or contribute to the cell organization of marine boundary layer clouds. A numerical study of the temporal and spatial scales of the processing of aerosol particles by

Evaluation of stratocumulus cloud prediction in the Met Office forecast model during VOCALS-REx [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2010 Observations in the subtropical southeast Pacific obtained during the VOCALS-REx field experiment are used to evaluate the representation of stratocumulus cloud in the Met Office forecast model and to identify key areas where model biases exist.

Estimating drizzle drop size and precipitation rate using two-colour lidar measurements [PDF]
, 2010 A method to estimate the size and liquid water content of drizzle drops using lidar measurements at two wavelengths is described. The method exploits the differential absorption of infrared light by liquid water at 905 nm and 1.5 μm, which leads to a ...
