Spatial-Temporal Distribution and Microphysical Characteristics of Aerosols and Clouds over China: A Combined Satellite and Aircraft Observation Study

Aerosols exert significant impacts on Earth’s radiation balance through direct and indirect effects, with the latter representing the largest uncertainty in current climate models. To clarify aerosol–cloud interactions over China, this study synergized MODIS satellite retrievals (2015–2020) with in-situ MA60 aircraft o...

Spatiotemporal Variations in Aerosol Optical Depth and Their Relationships with Cloud Properties and Precipitation over Sudan: Insights from Satellite Observations and CMIP6 Model Projections

This study investigates how dust and sulfate aerosols modulate cloud properties and rainfall over Sudan, a key part of the Sahara–Sahel dust belt. Satellite and reanalysis products (MODIS, CHIRPS, MERRA 2, EAC4) are combined with four CMIP6 models to analyze rainy season (JJAS) aerosol optical depth (AOD), cloud water...

Summer Cloud Cover Changes and Its Radiative Effects on Surface Temperature and Precipitation over Central Asia

Central Asia (CA) has experienced substantial climate change in recent decades, yet the role of clouds in regulating the regional climate remains poorly quantified. Here, we investigate changes in summer temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, and cloud radiative effects over CA using observations for 1979–2025 and CE...

Monsoon–Regulated Aerosol Variability and Radiative Effects over a Rural Receptor Site in Southeast India

This study aims to characterize the seasonal variability and optical properties of aerosols and to investigate their potential sources, transport pathways, and radiative impacts over a rural site in Southeast India. Ground–based MICROTOPS–II Sunphotometer observations during April 2021–December 2023 were integrated wit...

Cloud Occurrence, Phase, and Vertical Structure in a Dust-Influenced Eastern Mediterranean Region: Observations from Limassol, Cyprus

This study presents a comprehensive statistical characterization of cloud vertical structure and phase occurrence over Limassol, Cyprus, using 18 months of continuous ground-based remote sensing observations from the Cyprus Cloud Aerosol and Radiation Experiment (CyCARE) campaign (October 2016–March 2018). The Eastern...

Refining the Simulation of Mixed‐Phase Clouds Over Coastal Antarctica With a Tailored Ice Nucleating Particle Parameterization

Climate models have substantial biases in downwelling shortwave radiation over the Southern Ocean (SO) and Antarctica, primarily due to their inability to accurately represent the frequent occurrence of low‐level mixed‐phase clouds. Building on the evaluation of the Unified Model (UM) Regional Atmosphere and Land versi...
