Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of Tropical Cloudiness by Soot
Andrew S. Ackerman,Owen B. Toon,David E. Stevens,Andrew J. Heymsfield,Veerabhadran Ramanathan,Ellsworth J. Welton +5 more
TL;DR: An opposite mechanism through which aerosols can reduce cloud cover and thus significantly offset aerosol-induced radiative cooling at the top of the atmosphere on a regional scale is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advancements in the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) Version 3 database – automated near-real-time quality control algorithm with improved cloud screening for Sun photometer aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements
David M. Giles,Alexander Sinyuk,M. G. Sorokin,Joel Schafer,Alexander Smirnov,Ilya Slutsker,Thomas F. Eck,Thomas F. Eck,Brent N. Holben,Jasper R. Lewis,Jasper R. Lewis,James R. Campbell,Ellsworth J. Welton,Sergey Korkin,Sergey Korkin,Alexei Lyapustin +15 more
TL;DR: The AERONET Version 3.3.V3 (V3) algorithm as mentioned in this paper provides fully automatic cloud screening and instrument anomaly quality control for near real-time AOD data.
Book
Full-Time, Eye-Safe Cloud and Aerosol Lidar Observation at Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program Sites: Instruments and Data Analysis
James R. Campbell,Dennis L. Hlavka,Ellsworth J. Welton,Connor Flynn,David D. Turner,James D. Spinhirne,V. Stanley Scott,I. H. Hwang +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the U.S. Department of Energy through I the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program has constructed four long-term atmospheric observing sites in strategic climate regimes (north central Oklahoma, In Barrow, Alaska, and Nauru and Manus Islands in the tropical western Pacific).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Global monitoring of clouds and aerosols using a network of micropulse lidar systems
TL;DR: The Micro-pulse Lidar System (MPLS) as discussed by the authors is a small, eye-safe, and autonomous lidar system that can be used in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transport of smoke from Canadian forest fires to the surface near Washington, D.C.: Injection height, entrainment, and optical properties
P. R. Colarco,Mark R. Schoeberl,Bruce G. Doddridge,Lackson T. Marufu,Omar Torres,Ellsworth J. Welton +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the long-range transport of smoke and pollutants from boreal forest fires to the surface of the United States at low altitudes behind advancing cold fronts.
