The influence of aerosols on the shortwave cloud radiative forcing from north pacific oceanic clouds: results from the cloud indirect forcing experiment (cifex)Aerosols over the Northeastern Pacific Ocean enhance the cloud drop number concentration and reduce the drop size for marine stratocumulus and cumulus clouds....
Characteristics of cloud drop spectra on rain and non-rain occasions... The measurements of the cloud drop spectra on the days with rain and with no rain in the experimental area made in 1976, 1979 and 1980 (the rain being observed within the clouds) have been studied....
A gcm study of organic matter in marine aerosol and its potential contribution to cloud drop activation... Measurements of aerosol mass, aerosol chemical composition and cloud drop effective radius are used to assess the representativity of the model initializations....
1 reexamination of the influences of carbonaceous chemicals on cloud drop activation... The BC heating effect has the ability of raising critical saturation ratio of a droplet and may hinder the activation of the aerosol into a cloud drop....
