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.

Marine stratocumulus aerosol-cloud relationships in the MASE-II experiment: Precipitation susceptibility in eastern Pacific marine stratocumulus [PDF]

, 2009
Observational data on aerosol-cloud-drizzle relationships in marine stratocumulus are presented from the second Marine Stratus/Stratocumulus Experiment (MASE-II) carried out in July 2007 over the eastern Pacific near Monterey, California.

Exposing and Reducing Biases of Simulating Mixed‐Phase Clouds in the Convection‐Permitting E3SM Atmosphere Model: Lessons From an Arctic Cold‐Air Outbreak

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Mixed‐phase clouds modulate the water and energy cycles of high‐latitude regions, yet their liquid‐ice phase partitioning has long been poorly simulated in climate models. Here, simulations of Arctic mixed‐phase clouds by the Simple Cloud‐Resolving E3SM Atmosphere Model (SCREAM) are assessed against large‐eddy simulations, satellite data, and ...

Fast Retrieval of Cloud Optical Depth From Polarimetry and Multi‐Spectral Imagery That Accounts for Cloud Heterogeneity Using 3D Radiative Transfer

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,

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.

The Reflectance Distribution of Shallow Cumulus and Its Environs From High Spatial Resolution ASTER Images

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.

Role of a key microphysical factor in mixed-phase stratocumulus clouds and their interactions with aerosols [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
This study examines the ratio of ice crystal number concentration (ICNC) to cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC), that is ICNC / CDNC, in mixed-phase stratocumulus clouds.

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 ...

Experimental determination of layer cloud edge charging from cosmic ray ionisation [PDF]

, 2010
The cloud-air transition zone at stratiform cloud edges is an electrically active region where droplet charging has been predicted. Cloud edge droplet charging is expected from vertical flow of cosmic ray generated atmospheric ions in the global electric
