متن کاملObserved Covariations of Aerosol Optical Depth and Cloud Cover in Extratropical Cyclones
Using NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aerosol optical depth and total cloud cover retrievals, CloudSat-CALIPSO cloud profiles, and a database of extratropical cyclones and frontal boundary locations, relationships between changes in aerosol optical depth and cloud cover in extratropical cyclones occurring over Northern Hemisphere oceans are examined. A reanalysis data set is ...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of clouds and precipitation depending on different relationships between aerosol and cloud droplet spectral dispersion
The aerosol effects on clouds and precipitation in deep convective cloud systems are investigated using the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model with the Morrison two-moment bulk microphysics scheme. Considering positive or negative relationships between the cloud droplet number concentration (Nc) and spectral dispersion (o), a suite of sensitivity experiments are performed using an initia...
متن کاملSemi - annual report on activities associated with the MODIS task : Global Monitoring of Aerosol Properties , Water Vapor , Cloud Structure
The overall objective of this investigation is to develop algorithms, based on the unique properties of the MODIS sensor, for remote sensing of aerosol and cloud characteristics, and remote sensing of water vapor. The derived aerosol, cloud and water vapor properties will be used to develop aerosol climatology, to perform atmospheric corrections of the MODIS imagery in the solar region, as well...
متن کاملPositive relationship between liquid cloud droplet effective radius and aerosol optical depth over Eastern China from satellite data
Correlations between water cloud effective radius (CER) and aerosol optical depth (AOD) from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) are examined over seven sub-regions in Eastern China for 2003e2012. Water phase cloud is defined as having a cloud top pressure greater than 800 hPa. Significant negative correlation coefficients (r 1⁄4 0.79 w 0.94) between AOD and CER are derive...
