Untangling aerosol effects on clouds and precipitation in a buffered system
B Stevens, G Feingold - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
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 …

Controls on precipitation and cloudiness in simulations of trade‐wind cumulus as observed during RICO
Twelve large‐eddy simulations, with a wide range of microphysical representations, are
compared to each other and to independent measurements. The measurements and the …

Observational study of relationships between entrainment rate, homogeneity of mixing, and cloud droplet relative dispersion
The entrainment–mixing process is key to the cloud's dynamical and microphysical
processes. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has quantitatively linked …

Sugar, gravel, fish and flowers: Mesoscale cloud patterns in the trade winds
An activity designed to characterise patterns of mesoscale (20 to 2,000 km) organisation of
shallow clouds in the downstream trades is described. Patterns of mesoscale organisation …

Cloud invigoration by aerosols—Coupling between microphysics and dynamics
The cloud invigoration effect refers here to the link between an increase in aerosol loading
and deepening of convective clouds. The effect can be reflected also in a larger cloud …
