Observations of temperature, winds, and atmospheric trace gases suggest that the transition
from troposphere to stratosphere occurs in a layer, rather than at a sharp “tropopause.” In the …

There are notable differences in the joint histograms of cloud top height and optical depth
being produced from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the …

云在大气的能量分配, 辐射传输, 尤其是水循环系统中有不可忽视的作用. 云探测对云物理,
人工影响天气, 气候变化和航空航天等领域有重要意义, 是大气科学研究的热点之一 …

Abstract The southeastern Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the critical region of water vapor transport
over the TP. Ground-based Ka-band cloud radar (KaCR) measurements collected at the …

This study examines thermodynamic–convection coupling in observations and reanalyses,
and attempts to establish process-level benchmarks needed to guide model development …

Elucidating the vertical structures of clouds is key to reducing the uncertainty in cloud-
induced climate forcing; however, we do not yet know explicitly about the cloud structures …

Cirrus clouds of various thicknesses and radiative characteristics extend over much of the
tropics, especially around deep convection. They are difficult to observe due to their high …

Cloud properties over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and their underlying dynamics play a crucial
role in the energy balance and regional water cycle of the climate system. In this review, we …

The cloud structure determined from ground-based measurements is generally important to
the better understanding of the climate system. This study examines vertically-resolved …

Different cloud-top heights (CTHs) have different degrees of atmospheric heating, which is
an important factor for weather forecasting and aviation safety. AHIs (Advanced Himawari …
