100 Years of Progress in Gas-Phase Atmospheric Chemistry Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRemarkable progress has occurred over the last 100 years in our understanding of atmospheric chemical composition, stratospheric and tropospheric chemistry, urban air pollution, acid rain, and the formation of ...
Chemical Amplification (or Dampening) of the Twomey Effect: Conditions Derived from Droplet Activation Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud droplet number concentrations are controlled by both meteorological and microphysical factors. Microphysical factors include aerosol number concentration and composition. This paper examines the importance of ...
Center for Interdisciplinary Remotely-Piloted Aircraft Studies (CIRPAS)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A remotely piloted aircraft research facility is described that will provide new capabilities for atmospheric and oceanographic measurements. The aircraft can fly up to 24 h over remote ocean regions, at low or high altitude, ...
The Impact of Ship-Produced Aerosols on the Microstructure and Albedo of Warm Marine Stratocumulus Clouds: A Test of MAST Hypotheses 1i and 1ii
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Anomalously high reflectivity tracks in stratus and stratocumulus sheets associated with ships (known as ship tracks) are commonly seen in visible and near-infrared satellite imagery. Until now there have been only a limited ...
Ice Initiation by Aerosol Particles: Measured and Predicted Ice Nuclei Concentrations versus Measured Ice Crystal Concentrations in an Orographic Wave Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The initiation of ice in an isolated orographic wave cloud was compared with expectations based on ice nucleating aerosol concentrations and with predictions from new ice nucleation parameterizations applied in a cloud ...
