The importance of vertical velocity variability for estimates of the indirect aerosol effects

REL West, P Stier, A Jones, CE Johnson… - Atmospheric …, 2014 - acp.copernicus.org
The activation of aerosols to form cloud droplets is dependent upon vertical velocities whose
local variability is not typically resolved at the GCM grid scale. Consequently, it is necessary …

Environmental Effects on Aerosol-Cloud Interaction in non-precipitating MBL Clouds over the Eastern North Atlantic

X Zheng, B Xi, X Dong, P Wu - Atmospheric Chemistry and …, 2021 - acp.copernicus.org
Over the eastern north Atlantic (ENA) ocean, a total of 20 non-precipitating single-layer
marine boundary layer (MBL) stratus and stratocumulus cloud cases are selected in order to …

Quantifying cloud base updraft speeds of marine stratocumulus from cloud top radiative cooling

Y Zheng, D Rosenfeld, Z Li - Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Marine stratocumulus clouds play a significant role in the Earth's radiation budget. The
updrafts at cloud base (Wb) govern the supersaturation and therefore the activation of cloud …
