Cloud Radiative Heating Rate Forcing Using Profiles of Retrieved Arctic Cloud Microphysics
Clouds and their radiative impacts are of primary importance to the Arctic climate and, therefore, global climate. Clouds dominate the radiation balance within the cold, dry Arctic atmosphere, and cloudradiation feedbacks are closely linked with the snow/ice-albedo feedback. Despite the importance of clouds in the Arctic, our current understanding of these clouds remains limited. Global climate...
متن کاملAtmospheric Electricity and Cloud Microphysics
The terrestrial atmospheric electrical system covers a range of dimensional scales, from charged molecular clusters to convective cloud systems. Charge-exchange associated with thunderclouds leads to positive charge in the upper conductive regions of the atmosphere and a net negative charge on the planetary surface. In non-thunderstorm regions, a vertical ionic current flows, replenishing the a...
متن کاملBlack carbon radiative heating effects on cloud microphysics and implications for the aerosol indirect effect: 2. Cloud microphysics
This work examines the effect of black carbon (BC) radiative heating on cloud droplet formation. Changes in cloud droplet concentration and cloud albedo due to the presence of black carbon are computed for different cases of aerosol size distributions, meteorological conditions, BC mixing state, and aerosol composition. We examine the effect of three new mechanisms (that result from BC heating)...
متن کاملPhysically based two-moment bulkwater parametrization for warm-cloud microphysics
A two-moment bulkwater parametrization scheme for warm-cloud microphysics is developed via statistical analyses of results from a detailed parcel model. This computationally ef cient scheme is quite accurate and produces bulkwater properties which resemble the results from a fully explicit microphysical model. It responds sensitively to the effect of aerosol types on the cloud drop number conc...
