RISThe Importance of Representing Mixed-Phase Clouds for Simulating Distinctive Atmospheric States in the Arctic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations from the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean experiment (SHEBA) suggest that the Arctic Basin is characterized by two distinctly different preferred atmospheric states during wintertime. These states appear ...
Impact of Two-Way Aerosol–Cloud Interaction and Changes in Aerosol Size Distribution on Simulated Aerosol-Induced Deep Convective Cloud Sensitivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecent cloud-resolving model studies of single (isolated) deep convective clouds have shown contradicting results regarding the response of the deep convection to changes in the aerosol concentration. In the present study, ...
Improved Representation of Marine Stratocumulus Cloud Shortwave Radiative Properties in the CMIP5 Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he radiative properties of subtropical marine stratocumulus clouds are investigated in an ensemble of current-generation global climate models from phase 5 of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). Using a ...
Evaluation of Hemispheric Asymmetries in Marine Cloud Radiative Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he hemispheric symmetry of albedo and its contributing factors in satellite observations and global climate models is evaluated. The analysis is performed on the annual mean time scale, on which a bimodality in the joint ...
