An overview of the ORACLES (ObseRvations of Aerosols above CLouds and their intEractionS) project: aerosol–cloud–radiation interactions in the southeast Atlantic basin

Jens Redemann, +74 more
TL;DR: The ORACLES (ObseRvations of Aerosols above CLouds and their intEractionS) project is a five-year NASA EVS-2 (Earth Venture Suborbital-2) investigation with three Intensive Observation Periods designed to study key atmospheric processes that determine the climate impacts of these aerosols.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamical, convective, and microphysical control on wintertime distributions of water vapor and clouds in the tropical tropopause layer

TL;DR: In this paper, simulations of clouds along backward trajectories of parcels are calculated using offline calculations of seasonal mean tropical radiative heating rates along with reanalysis temperature and wind data with enhanced wave-driven variability in the Tropopause Layer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Convective Influence on the Humidity and Clouds in the Tropical Tropopause Layer During Boreal Summer

TL;DR: The impact of convection on the humidity and clouds in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) during boreal summer 2007 is investigated in simulations of detailed cloud microphysical processes and their effects on the water vapor (H2O) profile along backward trajectories from the 379 K potential temperature (100-hPa pressure) surface as mentioned in this paper.

To What Extent Does High-Latitude Wave Forcing Drive Tropical Upwelling in the Brewer–Dobson Circulation?

TL;DR: In this article, the causes of the annual cycle and non-seasonal variability in the globally averaged, equator-to-pole Brewer-Dobson circulation (BDC; defined here as the equatorially symmetric component of the Lagrangian-mean meridional circulation) are investigated based on zonally averaged, lower-stratospheric temperature data from satellite-borne microwave sounding unit (MSU) and Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU).
