Cloud optical parameters as derived from the multispectral cloud radiometer [PDF]

open access: yes
Simultaneous measurements of the liquid water content and particle size have assumed an important role in cloud physics as they help elucidate the mechanism of cloud particle formation and the mechanism of air mass-mixing in stratus clouds.

Adaptive Grid Redistribution for a 1D Model of Turbulence and Clouds

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
In global atmospheric models, resolving stratocumulus (Sc) in the vertical is computationally expensive. However, Sc appear only under special meteorological conditions. Therefore, there is motivation to refine the vertical grid levels adaptively.

Extended time observations of California marine stratocumulus clouds from GOES for July 1983-1987 [PDF]

open access: yes
One of the goals of the First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) is to relate the relatively small scale (spatial and temporal) Intensive Field Observations (IFO) to larger time and space domains embodied in the Extended Time Observations (ETO) phase of ...

On the importance of cumulus penetration on the microphysical and optical properties of stratocumulus clouds

open access: yes, 2004
International audienceOwing to their extensive spatial coverage, stratocumulus clouds play a crucial role in the radiation budget of the earth. Climate models need an accurate characterisation of stratocumulus in order to provide an accurate forecast ...

On estimating scale invariance in stratocumulus cloud fields [PDF]

open access: yes
Examination of cloud radiance fields derived from satellite observations sometimes indicates the existence of a range of scales over which the statistics of the field are scale invariant.

Large-scale variability in marine stratocumulus clouds defined from simultaneous aircraft and satellite measurements [PDF]

open access: yes
Satellite images often show significant variations in the structure of marine stratocumulus clouds on scales ranging from 10 to 1000 km. This is illustrated where a GOES West satellite image shows a well-defined variation in cloud structure near 32 N ...
