Flood or drought: How do aerosols affect precipitation?

TL;DR: A conceptual model is proposed that explains this apparent dichotomy of pristine tropical clouds with low CCN concentrations rain out too quickly to mature into long-lived clouds and heavily polluted clouds evaporate much of their water before precipitation can occur.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Epic 2001 Stratocumulus Study

TL;DR: The East Pacific Investigation of Climate undertook an exploratory cruise from the Galapagos Islands to Chile in 2001, collecting an unprecedented dataset, integrating radiosonde, surface, cloud remote sensing, aerosol, and ocean measurements as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characteristics of Cumulus Band Clouds off the Coast of Hawaii

TL;DR: In this article, aircraft observations from seventeen cumulus cells within cloud bands observed off the east coast of Hawaii during the Joint Hawaii Warm Rain Project (JHWRP) of 1985 were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Convective Forcing in the Intertropical Convergence Zone of the Eastern Pacific

TL;DR: In this article, an intensive study was made of convection in a 4° × 4° square centered on 10°N, 95°W in September and October of 2001, and it was found that newly developing convection occurs where a deep layer of air (of order 1 km deep or deeper) is conditionally unstable with weak convective inhibition.
