RISInterannual Variability in Low Stratiform Cloud Amount over the Summertime North Pacific in Terms of Cloud Types
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUsing long-term (1958?2008) ship-based cloud observations and reanalysis data, interannual variability in the low stratiform cloud (LSC) amount of stratocumulus (Sc), stratus (St), and sky-obscuring fog (FOG) is ...
Interpretation of Factors Controlling Low Cloud Cover and Low Cloud Feedback Using a Unified Predictive Index
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper reports on a new index for low cloud cover (LCC), the estimated cloud-top entrainment index (ECTEI), which is a modification of estimated inversion strength (EIS) and takes into account a cloud-top ...
Evaluation of the Warm Rain Formation Process in Global Models with Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the warm rain formation process over the global ocean in global climate models. Methodologies developed to analyze CloudSat and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite observations ...
Evaluating the Diurnal Cycle of Upper-Tropospheric Ice Clouds in Climate Models Using SMILES Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pper-tropospheric ice cloud measurements from the Superconducting Submillimeter Limb Emission Sounder (SMILES) on the International Space Station (ISS) are used to study the diurnal cycle of upper-tropospheric ice cloud ...
