Abstract: The seasonal and intraseasonal variability of boundary layer cloud in the subtropical eastern oceans is studied using combined data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project and the European Centre for ...

Abstract: The macroscale cloud vertical structure (CVS), including cloud-base and -top heights and layer thickness, and characteristics of multilayered clouds, is studied at Porto Santo Island during the Atlantic Stratocumulus ...

Abstract: A new heuristic model of stratocumulus cloudiness in the inversion-capped marine boundary layer is developed and tested. The essential ingredient is a new method for predicting the statistical distribution of temperature ...

Abstract: Marine stratiform clouds are important and highly variable contributors to earth's radiation budget over the eastern subtropical oceans and over middle- to high-latitude oceans in summer. Because these clouds influence the ...
