The ability to forecast solar irradiance plays an indispensable role in solar power
forecasting, which constitutes an essential step in planning and operating power systems …

Aerosols interact with radiation and clouds. Substantial progress made over the past 40
years in observing, understanding, and modeling these processes helped quantify the …

Aerosol–cloud interactions have a potentially large impact on climate but are poorly
quantified and thus contribute a substantial and long-standing uncertainty in climate …

The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased
enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year …

Alexandrov, MD, B. Cairns, C. Emde, AS Ackerman, and B. van Diedenhoven, 2012:
Accuracy assessment of cloud droplet size retrievals from polarized reflectance …

Aerosols have significant and complex impacts on regional climate in East Asia. Cloud‐
aerosol‐precipitation interactions (CAPI) remain most challenging in climate studies. The …

The twin Moderate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors have been flying
on Terra since 2000 and Aqua since 2002, creating an extensive data set of global Earth …

Cloud drop condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN) particles determine to a large
extent cloud microstructure and, consequently, cloud albedo and the dynamic response of …

Aerosols and clouds have important effects on Earth's climate through their effects on the
radiation budget and the cycling of water between the atmosphere and Earth's surface …

It is thought that changes in the concentration of cloud-active aerosol can alter the
precipitation efficiency of clouds, thereby changing cloud amount and, hence, the radiative …
