Aircraft and ground measurements of dust aerosols over the west African coast in summer 2015 during ICE-D and AER-D
2018
During the summertime, dust from the Sahara can be efficiently transported westwards within the Saharan air layer (SAL). This can lead to high aerosol loadings being observed above a relatively clean marine boundary layer (MBL) in the tropical Atlantic Ocean. These dust layers can impart significant radiative effects through strong visible and IR light absorption and scattering, and can also have indirect impacts by altering cloud properties. The processing of the dust aerosol can result in changes in both direct and indirect radiative effects, leading to significant uncertainty in climate prediction in this region. During August 2015, measurements of aerosol and cloud properties were condu…
The Cirrus Coupled Cloud-Radiation Experiment-II
2016
A cirrus study has been undertaken during the second Cirrus Cloud-Radiation Experiment field campaign based in Prestwick, Scotland. We report on a case study describing the radiation and microphysics measurements and cloud modelling work.
