Abstract: The indirect aerosol effect (Twomey effect) is studied during a Saharan dust-transport event that presented an unusually favorable combination of a dust-loading gradient across clouds with warm cloud-top temperatures. ...

Abstract: he design and operation of a Thin-Cloud Rotating Shadowband Radiometer (TCRSR) described here was used to measure the radiative intensity of the solar aureole and enable the simultaneous retrieval of cloud optical depth, ...

Abstract: Many of the clouds important to the Earth's energy balance, from the Tropics to the Arctic, contain small amounts of liquid water. Longwave and shortwave radiative fluxes are very sensitive to small perturbations of the ...
