Arctic bimodality reflects enhanced variability in the clear-cloudy transition rather than bistability
Nadja Omanovic, Antoon van Hooft, Valentina Zeni +1
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…

Tracking Low-Level Cloud Systems with Topology
Mingzhe Li, Dwaipayan Chatterjee, Franziska Glassmeier +2
Low-level clouds are ubiquitous in Earth's atmosphere, playing a crucial role in transporting heat, moisture, and momentum across the planet. Their evolution and interaction with o…
