Shortwave cloud forcing of marine stratocumulus clouds

Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Part B: Hydrology, Oceans and Atmosphere, 1999
Abstract Shortware cloud forcing (SWCF) is one measure of the impact of clouds on radiation and climate. This quantity is determined by insolation, surface albedo, cloud thickness and height, cloud cover and the size distribution of the cloud droplets.

Microphysical properties of stratocumulus clouds

Atmospheric Research, 2000
Data collected in situ with the Meteo-France Merlin-IV instrumented aircraft during the EUCREX mission 206 are analyzed to document cloud properties that are relevant to the calculation of cloud radiative properties. Ascents and descents through the cloud layer reveal that most of the vertical profiles of liquid water content (LWC) and droplet sizes ...

Fogs and Stratocumulus Clouds

2011
Abstract Chapter 6 provides an overview of the dynamics of fogs and stratocumulus clouds. Included are fog formation mechanisms and various forcing factors that influence fog occurrence and intensity. Likewise factors influencing boundary layer cloud occurrence and intensity are reviewed along with discussions of models used to describe and predict ...

Observations of Cloud-Top Entrainment in Marine Stratocumulus Clouds

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1994
Abstract Measurements of the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of entrainment events in marine stratocumulus are used to explain why cloud-top entrainment instability may not lead to the breakup of the clouds and to define the role of cloud-top entrainment on the turbulent mixing processes when buoyancy reversal due to mixing is released.

The Albedo of Fractal Stratocumulus Clouds

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1994
An increase in the planetary albedo of the earth-atmosphere system by only 10% can decrease the equilibrium surface temperature to that of the last ice age. Nevertheless, albedo biases of 10% or greater would be introduced into large regions of current climate models if clouds were given their observed liquid water amounts, because of the treatment of ...

Observations of Marine Stratocumulus Clouds During FIRE

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1988
The First International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project Regional Experiment (FIRE) to study extensive fields of stratocumulus clouds off the coast of California is presented. Measurements on the regional and detailed local scales were taken, allowing for a wide interpretation of the mean, turbulent, microphysical, radiative, and chemical ...

The size of cloud particles in stratocumulus cloud

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1951
AbstractThe size distribution of water droplets in thin stratocumulus cloud has been investigated using an impactor technique. The variation from point to point in the cloud is considered and it is shown that where the water content is large there is generally a larger number of particles but the average size is also greater.
