Abstract: eedbacks in response to climate variations during the period 2000?10 have been calculated using reanalysis meteorological fields and top-of-atmosphere flux measurements. Over this period, the climate was stabilized by a ...

Abstract: The strength of the water vapor feedback has been estimated by analyzing the changes in tropospheric specific humidity during El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycles. This analysis is done in climate models driven by ...

Abstract: Thin cirrus clouds (with optical depths τ ? 1) play a potentially important role in the earth's atmosphere. However, their tenuous nature makes them difficult to detect, and as a result there are few quantitative, global ...

Abstract: A technique for detecting large hydrometeors at high altitudes is described here and applied to the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite/Microwave Limb Sounder (UARS/MLS) 203-GHz radiance measurements at tangent pressures ...
