  1. 1. Improving the understanding of cloud radiative heating

    Författare :Erik Johansson; Abhay Devasthale; Michael Tjernström; Annica M. L. Ekman; Robert Pincus; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; clouds; radiative effects; upper troposphere-lower stratosphere; atmospheric circulation; remote sensing; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

    Sammanfattning : Clouds play an essential role in regulating Earth’s radiation budget by reflecting and absorbing energy at different spectra. As they interact with radiation, they can radiatively heat or cool the adjacent atmosphere and the surface. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Aerosol impacts on subtropical low-level clouds: a satellite and modelling perspective

    Författare :Alejandro Baró Pérez; Annica M.L. Ekman; Frida A.-M. Bender; Abhay Devasthale; Jens Redemann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions; cloud microphysics; biomass burning; stratocumulus to cumulus transition; cloud radiative effect; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi;

    Sammanfattning : Complex interactions between aerosols, clouds, and radiation impact Earth's climate. However, several aspects of these interactions remain uncertain, which has led to extensive research over the last decades. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Earth's albedo in a changing climate

    Författare :Frida A-M Bender; Henning Rodhe; Annica Ekman; William Collins; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :albedo; Earth s radiative budget; cloud properties; climate sensitivity; CMIP3; GCMs; satellite observations; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; atmosfärvetenskap; Atmospheric Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The albedo is a key parameter in the radiative budget of the Earth and a primary determinant of the planetary temperature and is therefore also central to questions regarding climate stability, climate change and climate sensitivity. Climate models and satellite observations are essential for studying the albedo, and the parameters determining it, on large spatial and temporal scales. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Arctic clouds - interactions with radiation and thermodynamic structure

    Författare :Joseph Sedlar; Michael Tjernström; Annica Ekman; Johannes Verlinde; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arctic; stratus; radiation; thermodynamic structure; cloud radiative forcing; seasonal transition; Meteorology; Meteorologi; atmosfärvetenskap; Atmospheric Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Clouds play in important role in the climate system through their interaction with radiation. Globally, clouds tend to cool the Earth by reflecting solar radiation and shading the surface. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Volcanic Aerosols in the Upper Troposphere and Stratosphere – Aircraft- and Satellite-Based Observations

    Författare :Sandra Andersson; Kärnfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; carbonaceous aerosol; sulphate; ash; volcanic particles; upper troposphere; lowermost stratosphere; Stratospheric aerosol; volcanism; aerosol optical depth; radiative forcing; Fysicumarkivet A:2015:Andersson;

    Sammanfattning : Volcanic eruptions are the largest source of variability in the stratospheric particle concentration as they inject SO2 that is subsequently converted into sulphate particles. No major perturbation of the stratospheric aerosol load has been observed since the large eruption of Pinatubo in 1991, but several moderate eruptions after 2000 have caused deviations from stratospheric background conditions.
