چکیده
1. The author should highlights why CALIPSO data are used in this study? Since there are some studies indicate that the CALIPSO derived above-cloud AOD are lower than other satellites sensors in the A-Train. 2. Do you consider the multilayer cloud with the existence of aerosols in this study? For example, aerosols above lower layer clouds but below the upper layer clouds? 3. When you calculate the âŰşAODct, how do you define the nearby clear sky? As we know that for some grid cell, there may be three or two nearby clear sky grid cells. 4. Some discussions or conclusions should be given about the relationship between low-cloud presence and the amount C1

Interactive comment on “Relationship between low-cloud presence and the amount of overlying aerosols” by C. E. Chung et al
This manuscript compares statistics of the CALIPSO derived aerosol optical depth (AOD) above low level clouds to that in cloud free scenes. Results are presented for both daytime and nighttime retrievals of AOD. The work illustrates that there are some differences in the AOD above low cloud and the AOD in clear skies in the daytime retrievals e.g. over the southeast Atlantic in SON. These are h...

We thank the reviewer for well understanding the key point of the paper. About the AOD difference over the southeast Atlantic, as the reviewer suspected, this could be due to a bias in retrieval algorithm. This could also be a real phenomenon as the cloud over this part of the world has a strong diurnal cycle. Examining this aspect to the full (especially the retrieval algorithm) would require ...

Synoptic analysis of the torrential on Day 21, 1398 (Case study: Zahedan and Qeshm) Abstract Rainfall is the most important phenomenon or feature of the environment and so far many studies have been done about its causes. In any place, rainfall occurs when humid air and climbing cause are provided. Both of these conditions are provided by the circulation pattern. The study area is affe...
متن کاملThe Genealogy of the Relationship between Human and Nature in the Iranian Contemporary Architecture, based on Foucault's idea (Case Study: Pahlavi Period)
Human is a small part of nature and with its constant presence in the natural environment, it was able to create an artificial and man-made environment tailored to its needs. Identifying structural components of nature and adapting them to the three dimensions of body, spirit and soul and their role in creating physical, functional and content components in architecture, is the beginning of the...
