Journal ArticleDOI
Denitrification mechanisms in the polar stratospheres
TL;DR: In this paper, microphysical simulations suggest that the time required for nitric acid particles to sediment from the stratosphere is comparable to the time needed for falling ice particles to incorporate Nitric acid vapor from the vapor phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stability of mid-latitude snowpacks on Mars
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate a specific scenario under conditions they believe are favorable for snowpack melting on Mars and investigate the rate at which a snowpack located at 33°S on a poleward-facing slope sublimates and melts on Mars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of cloud cover and suppression of nocturnal drizzle in stratocumulus polluted by haze
TL;DR: In this article, large-eddy simulations of stratocumulus were used to find that the trend in the satellite data is likely an artifact of sampling only overcast clouds, and the simulations instead show cloud cover increasing with droplet concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Saharan and Asian dust: similarities and differences determined by CALIPSO, AERONET, and a coupled climate-aerosol microphysical model
L. Su,Owen B. Toon +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the properties of atmospheric dust from the Saharan and the Asian deserts using data from CALIPSO and AERONET during 2006 and 2007 along with simulations using a coupled climate-microphysical sectional model.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model simulation of Pinatubo volcanic aerosols in the stratosphere
TL;DR: In this article, a one-dimensional, time-dependent model is used to study the chemical, microphysical, and radiative properties of volcanic aerosols produced by the Mount Pinatubo eruption on June 15, 1991.
