Abstract. The vertical distribution of aerosols plays an important role in determining the effective radiative forcing from aerosol–radiation and aerosol–cloud interactions. Here, a number processes controlling aerosol five subtropical marine stratocumulus regions climate model NorESM1-M are investigated, with focus on total extinction. A comparison satellite lidar data (CALIOP, Cloud–Aerosol L...

Abstract. Spaceborne observations of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) with the Cloud-Aerosol LIdar Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) aboard Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) satellite provide a comprehensive picture occurrence Arctic Antarctic PSCs as well their microphysical properties. However, advances in understanding PSC microphysics also require measurements g...

The current Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES-16 and 17) cloud-top phase classification algorithm is based primarily on empirical thresholds at multiple wavelengths that have varying absorption capabilities for water ice. performance of GOES-16 product largely depends the accuracy selection reflectance ratios. This study aims presenting a novel (the Multi-channel Imager A...

Near-real time observations of aerosol properties could have a potential to improve the accuracy XCO2 retrieval algorithm in operational satellite missions. In this study, we developed (Yonsei Retrieval Algorithm; YCAR) based on Optimal Estimation (OE) method that used information at location Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) measurement from co-located Afternoon constellation (A-train) suc...

[1] Motivated by the physical picture of shape-dependent air resistance and, consequently, shape-induced differential sedimentation of dust particles, we searched for and found evidence of dust particle asphericity affecting the evolution and distribution of dust-scattered light depolarization ratio (d). Specifically, we examined a large data set of Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarizat...
