climate modeling Applications

In 1996, the first Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a report that underscored how aerosols and clouds impact radiative fluxes and modulate climate. Their first report and all subsequent reports every seven years have emphasized how the level of scientific understanding (LOSU) remains low. This major gap in our understanding of how aerosols and clouds alter climate continues to drive the need for more widespread and accurate measurements, especially of black carbon (BC) aerosols that contribut...

Clouds are an integral part of the atmosphere, critical components of the hydrological cycle, and a major modifier of climate. Clouds form and develop in complex ways that depend on the characteristics of the ambient aerosol population and on the thermodynamic and dynamic structure of the atmosphere. The hydrologic cycle depends on the formation of precipitation that in turn is directly related to the microphysical properties of clouds. The accuracy of weather forecasting and climate simulations are dependent on...
