Journal ArticleDOI
The Epic 2001 Stratocumulus Study
Christopher S. Bretherton,Taneil Uttal,Christopher W. Fairall,Sandra E. Yuter,Robert A. Weller,Darrel Baumgardner,Kimberly K. Comstock,Robert Wood,Graciela B. Raga +8 more
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
Pockets of open cells and drizzle in marine stratocumulus
Bjorn Stevens,Gabor Vali,Kimberly K. Comstock,Robert Wood,Margreet C. van Zanten,Philip H. Austin,Christopher S. Bretherton,Donald H. Lenschow +7 more
TL;DR: Open cells are associated with a reduction in cloud cover, which provides direct evidence of a connection between cloudiness and precipitation as mentioned in this paper, which is the linchpin of hypotheses that posit that changes in the atmospheric aerosol and precipitation are correlated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reflectivity and rain rate in and below drizzling stratocumulus
TL;DR: In this article, ship-based radar measurements obtained during the East Pacific Investigation of Climate 2001 stratocumulus (Sc) cruise are used to derive characteristics of the rainfall from drizzling Sc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesoscale Variability and Drizzle in Southeast Pacific Stratocumulus
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the diurnal cycle, mesoscale structure, and precipitation in the stratocumulus region in the southeast Pacific was explored using data from the East Pacific Investigation of Climate (EPIC) 2001 field campaign.
Journal ArticleDOI
Open cellular structure in marine stratocumulus sheets
Robert Wood,Kimberly K. Comstock,Christopher S. Bretherton,C. Cornish,Jason Tomlinson,Jason Tomlinson,Don R. Collins,Christopher W. Fairall +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of open cellular structure in marine stratocumulus clouds over the southeast Pacific (SEP) was investigated using satellite data and in situ observations from ship cruises.
