This paper reviews the current knowledge of the climatological, structural, and
organizational aspects of stratocumulus clouds and the physical processes controlling them …

▪ Abstract Turbulence is ubiquitous in atmospheric clouds, which have enormous turbulence
Reynolds numbers owing to the large range of spatial scales present. Indeed, the ratio of …

An overview is presented of airborne systems for in situ measurements of aerosol particles,
clouds and radiation that are currently in use on research aircraft around the world …

Optical properties and precipitation efficiency of atmospheric clouds are largely determined
by turbulent mixing with their environment. When cloud liquid water is reduced upon mixing …

Many of the clouds important to the Earth's energy balance, from the Tropics to the Arctic,
contain small amounts of liquid water. Longwave and shortwave radiative fluxes are very …

Prognostic cloud schemes in large‐scale models are typically formulated in terms of grid‐
cell average values of cloud condensate concentration q, although variability in q at spatial …

In situ observations of cloud properties made by airborne probes play a critical role in ice
cloud research through their role in process studies, parameterization development, and …

Beer's law of exponential decay in direct transmission is well-known but its break-down in
spatially variable optical media has been discussed only sporadically in the literature. We …

We develop a new theory of volumetric light transport for media with non-exponential free-
flight distributions. Recent insights from atmospheric sciences and neutron transport …
