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.

Estimating drizzle drop size and precipitation rate using two-colour lidar measurements [PDF]
, 2010 A method to estimate the size and liquid water content of drizzle drops using lidar measurements at two wavelengths is described. The method exploits the differential absorption of infrared light by liquid water at 905 nm and 1.5 μm, which leads to a ...

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 ...

Why is height-dependent mixing observed in stratocumulus clouds? [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsRecent aircraft measurements in stratocumulus clouds suggest that entrainment mixing is inhomogeneous (IM) near cloud top and homogeneous (HM) within the cloud.
