Journal ArticleDOI
On the Relationship between Stratiform Low Cloud Cover and Lower-Tropospheric Stability
TL;DR: In this article, a new formulation, called the estimated inversion strength (EIS), was proposed to estimate the strength of the planetary boundary layer inversion given the temperatures at 700 hPa and at the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving our fundamental understanding of the role of aerosol−cloud interactions in the climate system

Stephens,Robert Wood +22 more
TL;DR: This work suggests strategies for improving estimates of aerosol−cloud relationships in climate models, for new remote sensing and in situ measurements, and for quantifying and reducing model uncertainty.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate Effects of Aerosol-Cloud Interactions
TL;DR: Advances in satellite observations and model development are needed to disentangle the complex interactions of aerosol-cloud interactions and their effects on climate, but further progress is hampered by limited observational capabilities and coarse-resolution climate models.
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
Spatial Variability of Liquid Water Path in Marine Low Cloud: The Importance of Mesoscale Cellular Convection
Robert Wood,Dennis L. Hartmann +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the LWP mesoscale spatial variability in marine low cloud over the eastern subtropical oceans using two months of daytime retrievals from the MODIS on the NASA Terra satellite.
