Abstract: An elementary model is devised which suggests that atmospheric radiation can be a dominant factor determining the thickness, water content, and general character of some forms of stratified cloud-stratocumulus in particular. ...

Abstract: Global mean cloud cover ? and surface temperature T are not independent and must satisfy the requirement of global energy balance, i.e., that the absorbed solar radiation must equal the loss to space of longwave radiant ...

Abstract: Aircraft measurements of the vertical profile of net shortwave flux and atmospheric water vapor over the ocean agree with Yamamoto's calculated relation between shortwave absorptivity and water path over the range of water ...

Abstract: The instrumentation and flight results of a balloonborne package of radiometers which measure the upward and downward fluxes of both shortwave and longwave atmospheric radiation are described. Ten flights wore conducted ...

Abstract: Six case studies of ?uniform? planetary boundary layer clouds are reported where the solar and infrared radiation fields, liquid water content, drop-size distributions and temperature and humidity profiles were measured ...
