The Atlantic Stratocumulus Transition Experiment—ASTEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Atlantic Stratocumulus Experiment (ASTEX) was conducted over the northeast Atlantic Ocean during June 1992 with substantial international collaboration. The main goal of ASTEX was to study the climatologically important ...
Effects of Aerosols on Cloud Albedo: Evaluation of Twomey’s Parameterization of Cloud Susceptibility Using Measurements of Ship Tracks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airborne measurements from the Meteorological Research Flight?s Hercules C-130 and the University of Washington?s Convair C-131A during the Monterey Area Ship Track field project are used to evaluate Twomey?s analytic ...
Drizzle Suppression in Ship Tracks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although drizzle was a relatively infrequent occurrence during the Monterey Area Ship Track study, diverse measurements from several sources produced data signals consistent with a reduction in drizzle drops in stratus ...
A Case Study of Ship Track Formation in a Polluted Marine Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A case study of the effects of ship emissions on the microphysical, radiative, and chemical properties of polluted marine boundary layer clouds is presented. Two ship tracks are discussed in detail. In situ measurements ...
A Case Study of Ships Forming and Not Forming Tracks in Moderately Polluted Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of anthropogenic particulate emissions from ships on the radiative, microphysical, and chemical properties of moderately polluted marine stratiform clouds are examined. A case study of two ships in the same air ...
