Abstract: Measured cloud spectral signatures in high-resolution infrared interferometer data have been separated from the clear-air signatures using singular value decomposition. Sets of empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) have ...

Abstract: The influence of anthropogenic aerosols, in the form of ship exhaust effluent, on the microphysics and radiative properties of marine stratocumulus is studied using data gathered from the U.K. Met. Office C-130 and the ...

Abstract: Airborne measurements from the Meteorological Research Flight?s Hercules C-130 and the University of Washington?s Convair C-131A during the Monterey Area Ship Track field project are used to evaluate Twomey?s analytic ...

Abstract: Although drizzle was a relatively infrequent occurrence during the Monterey Area Ship Track study, diverse measurements from several sources produced data signals consistent with a reduction in drizzle drops in stratus ...

Abstract: A case study of the effects of ship emissions on the microphysical, radiative, and chemical properties of polluted marine boundary layer clouds is presented. Two ship tracks are discussed in detail. In situ measurements ...

Abstract: The effects of anthropogenic particulate emissions from ships on the radiative, microphysical, and chemical properties of moderately polluted marine stratiform clouds are examined. A case study of two ships in the same air ...
