MAIAC Aerosol Algorithm Over Water
Abstract MAIAC VIIRS Collection 2 aerosol product for the first time provides global coverage over land and ocean. This paper gives a first systematic description of MAIAC ocean aerosol algorithm covering cases of open ocean, waters with sediments and brown waters from rivers' discharge.

Land‐Atmosphere Coupling Contributing to Anomalous Rainfall Before the Onset of Australian Monsoon
Abstract This study applies idealized climate model simulations to investigate the influence of a continent‐sized ponded surface of limited heat capacity on the regional and remote atmospheric state. The analysis focuses on the wet season in northern Australia where precipitation provides critical water resources for agriculture and inland ecosystems ...

A Causal Examination of the Solar Influence on Holocene Climate
Abstract Variations in Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) have long been hypothesized to influence global mean surface temperature (GMST) on multidecadal to millennial timescales, but empirical evidence has remained elusive. Here, we explore the link between solar variability and climate over the pre‐industrial Holocene, when anthropogenic influences were ...

Abstract Longwave cloud radiative effects significantly influence variability in global and regional Earth systems. However, there have been very few, if any, measurements of the far‐infrared (FIR) radiation over the polar regions, where about half of the outgoing longwave radiation is in the FIR spectrum. This motivated the Polar Radiant Energy in the

Dominant Biases in Atmospheric Radiative Heating Rates in Global Climate Models
Abstract The Earth's energy budget is fundamental to climate, and its accurate simulations in global climate models (GCMs) are essential for climate projections. While studies have validated energy budget at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) and surface, the layer‐wise atmospheric energy budget remains largely unexplored because of limited observations ...
