Aerosols have significant and complex impacts on regional climate in East Asia. Cloud‐
aerosol‐precipitation interactions (CAPI) remain most challenging in climate studies. The …

Southern Africa produces almost a third of the Earth's biomass burning (BB) aerosol
particles, yet the fate of these particles and their influence on regional and global climate is …

We present an algorithm for the retrieval of cloud droplet size distribution parameters
(effective radius and variance) from the Research Scanning Polarimeter (RSP) …

Biomass burning smoke is advected over the southeast Atlantic Ocean between July and
October of each year. This smoke plume overlies and mixes into a region of persistent low …

The interactions between aerosols, clouds, and precipitation remain among the largest
sources of uncertainty in the Earth's energy budget. Biomass-burning aerosols are a key …

Most of the current aerosol retrievals from passive sensors are restricted to cloud-free
scenes, which strongly reduces our ability to monitor the aerosol properties at a global scale …

The global variability of clouds and their interactions with aerosol and radiation make them
one of our largest sources of uncertainty related to global radiative forcing. The droplet size …

In this paper, we studied the frequency of occurrence and shortwave direct radiative effects
(DREs) of above-cloud aerosols (ACAs) over global oceans using 8 years (2007–2014) of …

The new spectrometer of the Munich Aerosol Cloud Scanner (specMACS) is a multipurpose
hyperspectral cloud and sky imager designated, but is not limited to investigations of cloud …

The solar radiative absorption by an aerosol layer above clouds is quantified using passive
satellite spectrometry from the ultraviolet (UV) to the shortwave infrared (SWIR). UV …
