Reducing errors in simulated satellite views of clouds from large-scale models
A fundamental test of the representation of clouds in models is evaluating the simulation of present-day climate against available observations. Satellite retrievals of cloud properties provide an attractive baseline for this evaluation because they can provide near global coverage and long records. However, comparisons of ...
Responses of the Climate System to Opposing Solar and CO2 Forcings
This dissertation analyzes various aspects of the response of Earth’s climate to a simultaneously imposed increase in the atmospheric CO2 concentration and decrease in the solar constant, based on an analysis of experiment G1 of the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project. The analysis focuses on changes in meridional ...
Nd or not Nd? To what extent are biomass burning aerosols modulating cloud microphysics in the southeast Atlantic?
The colocation of clouds and smoke over the southeast Atlantic Ocean during the southern African biomass burning season has numerous radiative implications, including microphysical modulation of the clouds if smoke is entrained into the marine boundary layer. The ORACLES campaign is deploying aircraft to study this system in ...
