Abstract: A dynamic radiative model was used to study the influence of the geostrophic wind on the nocturnal cooling processes. For weak wind conditions, an important difference appears between the top levels of the inversion and ...

Abstract: A study of the effect of a desert aerosol layer on the nocturnal cooling of the atmosphere is presented. The experimental data were obtained during the ECLATS experiment which was run in the Sahel region of the Niger in ...

Abstract: Pollutants (gaseous and aerosol) contained in urban atmospheres alter radiative fluxes at the surface.Numerous radiative models have been developed, and while few experimental data are available, results areoften contradictory. ...
