The cloud-radiative forcing of the U.S. landfalling atmospheric rivers
… higher latitudes. Streaks of highly reflective clouds are observed along with the ARs in satellite imagery. These clouds both influence the moisture transport of ARs, as well as modify the Earth-Atmospheric energy budget through pathways such as cloud-radiative forcing (CRF). This dissertation …

The impact of Arctic cloud water and ice on cloud radiative forcing during the Arctic Summer Cloud-Ocean Study in August 2008
… is especially sensitive to changes in climate forcing; however, Arctic processes and feedbacks are not understood well enough to accurately predict how the Arctic environment might change under anthropogenic forcing. Further study of the basic atmospheric processes is needed, especially due to …

The Madden-Julian oscillation and nonlinear moisture modes
… if moist static energy (MSE) sources such as cloud radiative forcing or gust-enhanced surface heat flux exceed the MSE export. Numerical calculations of a single-column model under the WTG configuration show that a realistic convective scheme can reproduce moisture mode instability. …

A Climatology of Tropical Anvil and Its Relationship to the Large-Scale Circulation
… tropical anvil, i.e., thick, non-precipitating cloud associated with deep convection with the main objectives to provide a climatology of tropics-wide anvil properties and a better understanding of anvil formation, and to provide a more realistic assessment of the radiative impact of tropical …

In situ and satellite-based estimates of aerosol-cloud interactions between biomass burning aerosols and marine stratocumulus clouds over the southeast Atlantic Ocean
Ubiquitous low-level, marine stratocumulus clouds provide the largest contribution of all cloud types to the shortwave cloud radiative forcing. A cooling effect from small changes in low-level cloud properties due to aerosol-cloud interactions (ACIs) could partially offset the global warming due to …

Uncertainties in space-based estimates of clouds and precipitation: implications for deriving global diabatic heating
… required to establish a global balance. Clouds and precipitation play an integral role in this exchange, enhancing reflection of solar radiation to space, trapping thermal emission from the surface, and providing a mechanism for the direct transfer of energy to the atmosphere through the …
