Biomass smoke from southern Africa can significantly enhance the brightness of stratocumulus over the southeastern Atlantic Ocean
Marine stratocumulus clouds cover nearly one-quarter of the ocean surface and thus play an
extremely important role in determining the global radiative balance. The semipermanent …
