Tropical, temperate, and boreal forests are critical components of the climate system, and
the ecosystem services they provide are essential for our society (Bona n et al., 1992, Bonan …

Coalescence of cloud droplets is essential for the production of small raindrops at a given
vertical distance above the cloud base (Dp). The rate of droplet coalescence is determined …

Aerosol and cloud microphysical measurements were collected by a research aircraft during
August 2019 over the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The majority of scientific flights targeted …

This study explores how the Atlanta, Georgia (United States), urban region influences warm-
season (May through September) cloud-to-ground lightning flashes and precipitation. Eight …

Precipitation variability and water cycle changes affect many components of the Earth's
natural and human system. Further, it is clear that natural and anthropogenic activities can …

The advent of the Visible Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on board the Suomi NPP
(SNPP) satellite made it possible to retrieve a new class of convective cloud properties and …

Fog composition was investigated at three sites in Norway, one in suburban Oslo and two
coastal sites in the area of the Mongstad refinery. Overall fog frequency during the study …

Aircraft field measurements of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and cloud microphysics in
maritime air masses showed ubiquitous influence of CCN. Flight averages of CCN …

The influence of the properties of fine particles on the formation of clouds and precipitation in
the tropical atmosphere is of primary importance to their impacts on radiative forcing and the …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau (TP) plays an important role in formation and development of
the East Asian atmospheric circulation, climate variability, and disastrous weathers in China …
