Abstract: This is the second of two observational papers examining drizzle in stratiform boundary layer clouds. Part I details the vertical and horizontal structure of cloud and drizzle parameters, including some bulk microphysical ...

Abstract: Detailed observations of stratiform boundary layer clouds on 12 days are examined with specific reference to drizzle formation processes. The clouds differ considerably in mean thickness, liquid water path (LWP), and droplet ...

Abstract: This paper describes a series of four experiments, each run for 10 years at 1° ? 1° resolution on a North Atlantic domain, designed to illuminate the sensitivity of a Bryan?Cox-type ocean model to changes in the representation ...

Abstract: Different strategies have been proposed in previous studies for monitoring the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). As well as arrays to directly monitor the AMOC strength, various fingerprints have been ...

Abstract: Any population of cloud droplets forming on polydisperse condensation nuclei is thermodynamically unstable. There is no value of the supersaturation for which the growth rate of all the droplets is zero, so that if some ...

Abstract: Existing Sundqvist-type parameterizations, which only consider dependence of the autoconversion rate on cloud liquid water content, are generalized to explicitly account for the droplet concentration and relative dispersion ...

Abstract: Identical composite analysis of midlatitude cyclones over oceanic regions has been carried out on both output from the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model, version 3 (CAM3) and multisensor satellite data. By focusing on mean ...

Abstract: Models of the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) show a range of responses to the high-latitude warming and freshening characteristic of global warming scenarios. Most simulate a weakening of the THC, with some ...
