The penetration and acceptance of Renewable Energy Systems (RESs) has already taken
place in our lives. Solar energy is the feedstock/source for various applications of RES, and …

Many of the clouds important to the Earth's energy balance, from the Tropics to the Arctic,
contain small amounts of liquid water. Longwave and shortwave radiative fluxes are very …

An assessment of aerosol‐cloud interactions (ACI) from ground‐based remote sensing
under coastal stratiform clouds is presented. The assessment utilizes a long‐term, high …

Surface, airborne, and satellite measurements over the eastern Pacific Ocean off the coast of
California during the period between 2005 and 2007 are used to explore the relationship …

The interplay of sunlight with clouds is a ubiquitous and often pleasant visual experience,
but it conjures up major challenges for weather, climate, environmental science and beyond …

RACORO Extended-Term Aircraft Observations of Boundary Layer Clouds in: Bulletin of the
American Meteorological Society Volume 93 Issue 6 (2012) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

Cloud optical depth is one of the most poorly observed climate variables. The new “cloud
mode” capability in the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) will inexpensively yet …

Although shallow cumuli are common over large areas of the globe, their impact on the
surface cloud radiative forcing (CRF) has not been carefully evaluated. This study addresses …

We present a novel method for retrieving high‐resolution, three‐dimensional (3‐D)
nonprecipitating cloud fields in both overcast and broken‐cloud situations. The method uses …

A new retrieval scheme for cloud optical thickness, effective radius, and thermodynamic
phase was developed for ground-based measurements of cloud shortwave solar spectral …
