Abstract: The authors revisit the idealized scenario by which long-lived rolls are believed to emerge in the neutral planetary boundary layer, that is, through the saturation of the shear instability of the neutrally stratified Ekman ...

Abstract: To improve the estimation of the infrared radiances in cirrus clouds, one needs to consider the vertical inhomogeneities of the cloud properties. The position of the maximum of absorption within an ice cloud is potentially ...

Abstract: Today several lidar networks around the world provide large datasets that are extremely valuable for aerosol and cloud research. Retrieval of atmospheric constituent properties from lidar profiles requires detailed analysis ...

Abstract: alloons are one of the key observing platforms for the atmosphere. Radiosounding is the most commonly used technique and provides over a thousand vertical profiles worldwide every day. These data represent an essential ...

Abstract: Fog is a weather condition with significant socioeconomic impacts associated with increased hazards and constraints in road, maritime, and air traffic. While current numerical weather prediction models are able to forecast ...

Abstract: erranean countries are experiencing important challenges related to the water cycle, including water shortages and floods, extreme winds, and ice/snow storms, that impact critically the socioeconomic vitality in the area ...

Abstract: he Mediterranean is expected to be one of the most prominent and vulnerable climate change ?hotspots? of the twenty-first century, and the physical mechanisms underlying this finding are still not clear. Furthermore, complex ...
