The Effect of Cumulus Cloud Field Anisotropy on Domain-Averaged Solar Fluxes and Atmospheric Heating Rates
Cumulus clouds can become tilted or elongated in the presence of wind shear. Nevertheless, most studies of the interaction of cumulus clouds and radiation have assumed these clouds to be isotropic. This paper describes an investigation of the effect of fair-weather cumulus cloud field anisotropy on domain-averaged solar fluxes and atmospheric heating rate profiles. A stochastic field generation...
متن کاملEnergy System (CERES) data for surface turbulent fluxes and atmospheric radiative heating
5 The authors analyze of the moist static energy budget over the region of the tropical Indian 6 ocean covered by the sounding array during the CINDY/DYNAMO field experiment in late 7 2011. The analysis is performed using the sounding array complemented by the Objectively 8 Analyzed air-sea Fluxes for the Global Oceans (OAflux) and Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant 9 Energy System (CERES) data for...
متن کاملSpectral and Broadband Longwave Downwelling Radiative Fluxes, Cloud Radiative Forcing, and Fractional Cloud Cover over the South Pole
Annual cycles of downwelling broadband infrared radiative flux and spectral downwelling infrared flux were determined using data collected at the South Pole during 2001. Clear-sky conditions are identified by comparing radiance ratios of observed and simulated spectra. Clear-sky fluxes are in the range of 110–125 W m 2 during summer (December–January) and 60–80 W m 2 during winter (April–Septem...
متن کاملObservational bounds on atmospheric heating by aerosol absorption: Radiative signature of transatlantic dust
[1] Aerosols absorb solar radiation thus changing the atmospheric temperature profile but the overall magnitude of this effect is not known. To that end, Saharan dust emissions over the Atlantic Ocean provide an opportunity to examine aerosol-related heating via satellite imaging. A major difficulty, however, is disentangling a straightforward heating signal caused by the absorbing dust from a ...
متن کاملActive galaxies and radiative heating.
There is abundant evidence that heating processes in the central regions of elliptical galaxies have both prevented large-scale cooling flows and assisted in the expulsion of metal rich gas. We now know that each such spheroidal system harbours in its core a massive black hole weighing ca. 0.13% of the mass in stars and also know that energy was emitted by each of these black holes with an effi...
