Climate impacts of geoengineering marine stratocumulus clouds [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2009 Theoretical potential geoengineering solutions to the global warming problem have recently been proposed. Here, we present an idealized study of the climate response to deliberately seeding large‐scale stratocumulus cloud decks in the North Pacific, South Pacific, and South Atlantic, thereby inducing cooling via aerosol indirect effects.

Measurement and modeling of diffuse ultraviolet radiation: A review
Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.Solar UV radiation consists of direct and diffuse UV components. The diffuse component contributes to the exposure received by humans and to the risk of skin cancer and sun‐related eye disorders. This review aims to determine future research directions for the measurement and modeling of diffuse solar UV radiation.

Marine stratocumulus cloud characteristics from multichannel satellite measurements [PDF]
, 1990 Understanding the effects of aerosols on the microphysical characteristics of marine stratocumulus clouds, and the resulting influence on cloud radiative properties, is a primary goal of FIRE.

Defining Scales of Field Studies and Experiments to Assess Marine Cloud Brightening
AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Solar radiation modification (SRM) is being discussed as a potential option for addressing climate risks while atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations are reduced to lower levels. However, understanding of the potential efficacy, impacts, benefits and harms of different SRM approaches remains limited.

Robust Yet Diverse Tropical Responses to Antarctic Meltwater Across Models
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract Continued melting of Antarctic ice sheets and shelves adds freshwater to the Southern Ocean (SO), enhancing stratification and inducing surface cooling. This cooling influences tropical climate through coupled atmosphere–ocean interactions, though model responses vary.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract CMIP6 climate models have difficulties representing the strong absorption properties of biomass‐burning aerosols (BBA) over the Southeast Atlantic and the associated direct forcing. This study takes advantage of unique in situ and remote sensing observations to evaluate the vertical profile and chemical composition of BBA, which are key ...

Observed Lagrangian Transition of Stratocumulus into Cumulus during ASTEX: Mean State and Turbulence Structure [PDF]
, 1996 Aircraft measurements made during the "First Lagrangian" of the Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment (ASTEX) between 12 and 14 June 1992 are presented.

Stratocumulus cloud deepening through entrainment
Tellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 1984 It is shown that under a fairly wide range of realistic conditions, stratocumulus cloud-top entrainment actually tends to deepen an existing cloud layer, or tends to produce clouds in an unsaturated mixed layer, even though the entrained air is warmer and drier than the mixedlayer air.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.Abstract We identify a previously unresolved layer, which we term as the “W‐Layer”, warming at about 2K hr−1 directly above the stratocumulus cloud top using the line‐by‐line radiative transfer model ARTS. The W‐Layer, being only about 5 m thick, poses observational and simulational challenges.
