Cloud water adjustments to aerosol perturbations are buffered by solar heating in non-precipitating marine stratocumuli

J Zhang, YS Chen, T Yamaguchi… - … Chemistry and Physics, 2024 - acp.copernicus.org
Marine low-level clouds are key to the Earth's energy budget due to their expansive
coverage over global oceans and their high reflectance of incoming solar radiation. Their …

Diurnal evolution of non-precipitating marine stratocumuli in a large-eddy simulation ensemble

YS Chen, J Zhang, F Hoffmann… - Atmospheric …, 2024 - acp.copernicus.org
We explore the cloud system evolution of non-precipitating marine stratocumuli with a focus
on the impacts of the diurnal cycle and free-tropospheric (FT) humidity based on an …

The impact of aerosol on cloud water: a heuristic perspective

F Hoffmann, F Glassmeier… - … Chemistry and Physics, 2024 - acp.copernicus.org
Aerosol–cloud interactions modulate the role of clouds in Earth's climate. We derive,
evaluate, and apply a simple model to understand aerosol-mediated cloud water …

External drivers and mesoscale self‐organization of shallow cold pools in the trade‐wind regime

P Alinaghi, AP Siebesma, F Jansson… - Journal of Advances …, 2025 - Wiley Online Library
Recent observations of the trade‐wind regions highlight the covariability between cold‐pool
properties and mesoscale cloud organization. Given the covariability of organization with …

The Effects of Shallow Cumulus Cloud Shape on Interactions Among Clouds and Mixing With Near‐Cloud Environments

J Chen, S Hagos, H Xiao, J Fast, C Lu… - Geophysical …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Cloud lifecycles are influenced by interactions among clouds and mixing with cloud‐free
environments. Cloud shapes dictate the length of cloud boundaries, which affects these …
