      Clouds cause uncertainties in the determination of climate sensitivity to either natural or anthropogenic changes. Furthermore, clouds dominate our perception of the weather, and the relatively poor forecast of cloud and ...

    • ACTINOFORM CLOUDS: Overlooked Examples of Cloud Self-Organization at the Mesoscale 

      Garay, Michael J.; Davies, Roger; Averill, Clare; Westphal, James A. (American Meteorological Society, 2004)
      Stratocumulus clouds are common in the tropical and subtropical marine boundary layer, and understanding these clouds is important due to their significant impact on the earth's radiation budget. Observations show that the ...
