Shortwave Radiative Impacts from Aerosol Effects on Marine Shallow Cumuli
The net shortwave radiative impact of aerosol on simulations of two shallow marine cloud cases is investigated using a Monte Carlo radiative transfer model. For a shallow cumulus case, increased aerosol concentrations are associated not only with smaller droplet sizes but also reduced cloud fractions and cloud dimensions, a result of evaporation-induced mixing and a lack of precipitation. Three...
متن کاملEnhanced Shortwave Cloud Radiative Forcing Due to Anthropogenic Aerosols
It has been suggested, originally by Twomey (SCEP, 1970), that anthropogenic aerosols in the troposphere can influence the microphysical properties of clouds and in turn their reflectivity (albedo), thereby exerting a radiative influence on climate. This chapter presents the theoretical basis for of this so-called indirect forcing and reviews pertinent observational evidence and climate model c...
متن کاملEstimation of diurnal shortwave dust aerosol radiative forcing during PRIDE
[1] Using measured and derived aerosol properties from the Puerto Rico Dust Experiment (PRIDE), a four-stream broadband radiative transfer model is used to calculate the downward shortwave irradiance (DSWI) at the surface and the shortwave irradiance at the top of atmosphere (TOA). The results of the calculated DSWI are compared against pyranometer measurements from the Surface Measurements For...
متن کاملM2 Signatures in Ψ(2s) Radiative Decays
Radiative decays of charmonium (cc̄) states are expected to be dominated by electric dipole (E1) transitions, with higher multipoles suppressed by powers of photon energy divided by quark mass [1]. (An early discussion of charmonium radiative transitions may be found in Ref. [2].) The search for contributions of higher multipoles is of interest as a source of information on the charmed quark’s m...
متن کاملThe spectral signature of cloud spatial structure in shortwave irradiance
In this paper, we used cloud imagery from a NASA field experiment in conjunction with three-dimensional radiative transfer calculations to show that cloud spatial structure manifests itself as a spectral signature in shortwave irradiance fields - specifically in transmittance and net horizontal photon transport in the visible and near-ultraviolet wavelength range. We found a robust correlation ...
