Precipitation in the Tropics: A New View

by Terri Cook 10 April 2019

The first study to simultaneously investigate precipitation and cloud structures in tropical weather systems concludes observation systems significantly overestimate the height of raining clouds.

Improving Retrievals for Vertically Inhomogeneous Warm Clouds

by Z. Li 20 March 201912 March 2019

Cloud droplet size changes with height, but passive sensors are virtually blind to see it; however, combining passive with active sensors helps profile it in vertically inhomogeneous warm clouds.

Listening to the Clouds

by Z. Li 22 January 201822 January 2018

The assimilation of cloud-cleared infrared data improves numerical weather forecasting, especially for hurricanes, by providing thermodynamic information in cloudy atmosphere.

Researchers examine how cloud feedbacks are influenced by regional climate warming

How Do Clouds React to Regional Warming?

by S. Witman 12 October 2017

Researchers illuminate how and why cloud feedbacks depend on spatial patterns of global warming.

Science Explains “Rough and Chaotic” Cloud Feature

by Katherine Kornei 6 June 201713 June 2017

Research on the newest entry in the International Cloud Atlas produces insights into what these cloud features are made of and how they form.

Light filters through broken clouds; cloud complexity is difficult to represent in weather and climate models
