Multi-year Trends in MODIS and MISR Observed Cloud Fraction over the Extratropical Oceans
Examination of cloud fraction and top of atmosphere radiation data from NASA’s MISR, MODIS, and CERES instruments reveals a pervasive temporal decline in optically thick cloud over the extratropical ocean basins during the period 2000 to 2015, which is compensated by a corresponding increase in cloud of moderate optical depth. ...
Observed and Modeled Cloud Responses to Climate Variability
Clouds play a significant role in the Earth’s climate, yet cloud feedbacks remain one of the largest sources of inter-model spread in climate predictions. Studying how clouds respond to internal modes of climate variability can improve our understanding of how cloud varies on monthly to inter-annual time scales, improve our ...
