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 ...
On the role of natural laboratories and natural experiments in elucidating cloud-aerosol-climate interactions: A story of ships, smoke, and shutdowns
Uncertainties in how airborne particles (aerosol) influence cloud reflectivity hinder our understanding of anthropogenic climate change. The study of aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI) is complicated by the difficulty of disentangling aerosol effects from other phenomena like meteorological variability. Natural laboratories ...
