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...
متن کاملAerosol relationships to warm season clouds and rainfall at monthly scales over east China: Urban land versus ocean
[1] This paper provides a prototype study on combining the advanced satellite observations of rainfall, clouds, and aerosols to examine their interrelationships. Monthly satellite observations from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) for July (2000–2005) were analyzed to assess how urban aerosols affect cloud droplet size and ...
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 کاملSatellite-Observed Urbanization Characters in Shanghai, China: Aerosols, Urban Heat Island Effect, and Land-Atmosphere Interactions
Urbanization reflects how human-activities affect natural climate system. Accurately assessing the urban system by comparing it with the nearby rural regions helps to identify the impacts of urbanization. This work uses the recent satellite observed aerosol, skin temperature, land cover, albedo, cloud fraction and water vapor measurements to reveal how the city of Shanghai, one of the biggest, ...
