Resilience of persistent Arctic mixed-phase clouds
11 Global and regional climate models have highlighted the Arctic as a region of particular sensitivity to climate change1. These model results are supported by observations showing rapid environmental change and accelerated warming relative to lower latitudes2–6. This sensitivity has been hypothesized to result from myriad feedbacks operating in the region. Central to these feedbacks are chang...
متن کاملLiquid fraction in stratiform mixed-phase clouds from in situ observations
Liquid fractions in mixed-phase clouds have been analysed using aircraft measurements taken in midand high latitude stratiform clouds. The liquid fraction generally increases with temperature but has a minimum at about −15 ◦C, where the maximum ice crystal growth based on vapour deposition would be expected. The mean liquid fraction also depends on total water content. This suggests that segreg...

متن کاملMixed-phase clouds cause climate model biases in Arctic wintertime temperature inversions
Temperature inversions are a common feature of the Arctic wintertime boundary layer. They have important impacts on both radiative and turbulent heat fluxes and partly determine local climate-change feedbacks. Understanding the spread in inversion strength modelled by current global climate models is therefore an important step in better understandingArctic climate and its present and future ch...
