Joint retrievals of cloud and drizzle in marine boundary layer clouds using ground-based radar, lidar and zenith radiances [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2015
Active remote sensing of marine boundary-layer clouds is challenging as drizzle drops often dominate the observed radar reflectivity. We present a new method to simultaneously retrieve cloud and drizzle vertical profiles in drizzling boundary-layer ...

Airborne Passive Microwave Retrievals of Cloud Liquid Water, Total Precipitable Water, and Near‐Surface Wind Speed in the Maritime Tropics

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract This paper describes improvements to geophysical retrievals from NASA's Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) during the Cloud, Aerosol and Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2Ex). The retrieved products are validated using independent data sets, and example applications in addressing science questions about the ...

Retrievals of thick cloud optical depth from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) by calibration of solar background signal [PDF]

, 2008
Laser beams emitted from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS), as well as other spaceborne laser instruments, can only penetrate clouds to a limit of a few optical depths.

Drizzle formation in stratocumulus clouds: effects of turbulent mixing [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015
Abstract. The mechanism of drizzle formation in shallow stratocumulus clouds and the effect of turbulent mixing on this process are investigated. A Lagrangian-Eularian model of the cloud-topped boundary layer is used to simulate the cloud measured during flight RF07 of the DYCOMS-II field experiment.

Understanding Biases in Simulated Cloud Radiative Effects in E3SMv3

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract This study systematically investigates biases in cloud radiative effects (CREs) within the recently released Energy Exascale Earth System Model version 3 (E3SMv3). Compared to its previous version (E3SMv2), E3SMv3 shows excessively strong shortwave CRE over tropical and subtropical oceans, the Southern Ocean, and the Northern Hemisphere storm ...

Wind speed response of marine non-precipitating stratocumulus clouds over a diurnal cycle in cloud-system resolving simulations [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016
Observed and projected trends in large-scale wind speed over the oceans prompt the question: how do marine stratocumulus clouds and their radiative properties respond to changes in large-scale wind speed?

Implementation of a Novel Nonlinear Cloud Droplet Spectrum Dispersion Parameterization in Large‐Eddy Model and Its Effects on Cloud and Fog Simulations

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The relative dispersion of the cloud droplet spectrum (ε) is a key parameter that characterizes the spectral shape. Uncertainties in its parameterization can introduce significant biases in the simulation of cloud and fog microphysical and optical properties, making its accurate diagnosis in models critically important.

Sensitivity of aerosol and cloud effects on radiation to cloud types: comparison between deep convective clouds and warm stratiform clouds over one-day period [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2009
Cloud and aerosol effects on radiation in two contrasting cloud types, a deep mesoscale convective system (MCS) and warm stratocumulus clouds, are simulated and compared.
