Sensitivity of nocturnal boundary layer temperature to tropospheric aerosol surface radiative forcing under clear‐sky conditions
[1] Since the middle of the last century, global surface air temperature exhibits an increasing trend, with nocturnal temperatures increasing at a much higher rate. Proposed causative mechanisms include the radiative impact of atmospheric aerosols on the nocturnal boundary layer (NBL) where the temperature response is amplified due to shallow depth and its sensitivity to potential destabilizati...
متن کاملVariations of tropical upper tropospheric clouds with sea surface temperature and implications for radiative effects
[1] The variations of tropical upper tropospheric (UT) clouds with sea surface temperature (SST) are analyzed using effective cloud fraction from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on Aqua and ice water content (IWC) from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on Aura. The analyses are limited to UT clouds above 300 hPa. Our analyses do not suggest a negative correlation of tropical-mean UT clou...
متن کاملThe ENSO Signal in Tropical Tropospheric Temperature
The authors address the interannual signal in the tropical mean temperature of the free troposphere. This signal was shown by Soden to be well simulated by a wide range of general circulation models, given the observed sea surface temperature (SST) as a boundary condition. This suggests that the mechanism by which SST anomalies are communicated to the atmosphere might be understood simply as mo...
متن کاملA model of the tropical Pacific sea surface temperature climatology
A model for the climatological mean sea surface temperature (SST) of the tropical Pacific Ocean is developed. The upper ocean response is computed using a time dependent, linear, reduced gravity model, with the addition of a constant depth frictional surface layer. The full three-dimensional temperature equation and a surface heat flux parameterization that requires pecification ofonly wind spe...
متن کاملTropical cyclone rainfall area controlled by relative sea surface temperature
Tropical cyclone rainfall rates have been projected to increase in a warmer climate. The area coverage of tropical cyclones influences their impact on human lives, yet little is known about how tropical cyclone rainfall area will change in the future. Here, using satellite data and global atmospheric model simulations, we show that tropical cyclone rainfall area is controlled primarily by its e...
