(2012-07-16)Two mechanisms appear to be primarily responsible for the formation of cirrus clouds in Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL): detrainment from deep convective anvils and in situ initiation. Here we propose to identify TTL ...

(2009-06-02)The tropics is a very important region in terms of earth’s radiation budget because the net radiative heating is largest in the tropics and that surplus energy is redistributed by the circulations of oceans and atmospheres. ...

(2016-05-09)Global circulation models (GCMs) and climate simulations often use radiative fluxes and heating rates from radiative transfer models. However, the calculations that are used are those where scattering of a cloudy atmosphere ...

(2010-10-12)Thin clouds are the most difficult cloud type to observe. The recent availability of joint cloud products from the active remote sensing instruments aboard CloudSat and the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder ...
