Arctic bimodality reflects enhanced variability in the clear-cloudy transition rather than bistability
Nadja Omanovic, Antoon van Hooft, J. Antoon van Hooft +2
The wintertime Arctic boundary layer is characterized by two distinct states, radiatively clear (cloud-free) and radiatively opaque (cloudy), which is reflected in observations as…
Aerosol memory in stratocumulus clouds leads to noise-induced patterns and non-ergodic sampling
Benjamin Hernandez, Franziska Glassmeier
Stratocumulus cloud decks exhibit bistability between patterns of high (closed cells) and low (open cells) cloud fraction. Localized transitions between these two states (pockets o…
Shallow Cumulus Cloud Fields Are Optically Thicker When They Are More Clustered
Pouriya Alinaghi, Martin Janssens, Goutam Choudhury +3
Shallow trade cumuli over subtropical oceans are a persistent source of uncertainty in climate projections. Mesoscale organization of trade cumulus clouds has been shown to influen…
Non-precipitating shallow cumulus convection is intrinsically unstable to length-scale growth
Martin Janssens, Jordi Vilà-Guerau de Arellano, Chiel C. van Heerwaarden +3
Condensation in cumulus clouds plays a key role in structuring the mean, non-precipitating trade-wind boundary layer. Here, we summarise how this role also explains the spontaneous…
Ship-track-based assessments overestimate the cooling effect of anthropogenic aerosol
Franziska Glassmeier, Fabian Hoffmann, Jill S. Johnson +3
The effect of anthropogenic aerosol on the reflectivity of stratocumulus cloud decks through changes in cloud amount is a major uncertainty in climate projections. The focus of thi…
