Journal ArticleDOI
Surface aerosol radiative forcing derived from collocated ground-based radiometric observations during PRIDE, SAFARI, and ACE-Asia
TL;DR: Values of the aerosol radiative forcing and forcing efficiency, which quantifies the sensitivity of the surface fluxes to the aerosoli optical depth, were generated on the basis of a differential technique for all three campaigns, and their scientific significance is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scattering phase matrix comparison for randomly hexagonal cylinders and spheroids.
TL;DR: In this paper, a scattering solution for spheroids using a numerical integral equation technique called the T-matrix method was proposed, while that for hexagonal cylinders employed a geometric ray-tracing method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of aerosols on seasonal precipitation and snowpack in California based on convection-permitting WRF-Chem simulations
Longtao Wu,Yu Gu,Jonathan H. Jiang,Hui Su,Nanpeng Yu,Chun Zhao,Yun Qian,Bin Zhao,Kuo-Nan Liou,Yong-Sang Choi,Yong-Sang Choi +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, a version of the WRF-Chem model with fully coupled aerosol-meteorology-snowpack is employed to investigate the impacts of various aerosol sources on precipitation and snowpack in California.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the radiative forcing of contrail cirrus contaminated by black carbon
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of internal and external mixings of black carbon (BC) (soot) in ice particles on the radiative properties of contrail cirrus were investigated using a simple ice plate model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parameterization of contrail radiative properties for climate studies
TL;DR: In this article, the microphysical properties of global contrails are statistically analyzed using collocated Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Cloud Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) observations.
