From:Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Vol. 20, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThe direct radiative effect (DRE) of aerosols above clouds has been found to be significant over the south-east Atlantic Ocean during the African biomass burning season due to elevated smoke layers absorbing radiation...

From:Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Vol. 19, Issue 17) Peer-Reviewed
Aerosols have a direct effect on the Earth's radiative budget and can also affect cloud development and lifetime, and the aerosols above clouds (AAC) are particularly associated with high uncertainties in global...

From:Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Vol. 20, Issue 21) Peer-ReviewedSimulations are performed for the period 2000-2015 by two different regional climate models, ALADIN and RegCM, to quantify the direct and semi-direct radiative effects of biomass-burning aerosols (BBAs) in the southeast...

From:Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Vol. 21, Issue 23) Peer-ReviewedAerosol absorption is a key property to assess the radiative impacts of aerosols on climate at both global and regional scales. The aerosol physico-chemical and optical properties remain not sufficiently constrained in...

From:Atmospheric Measurement Techniques (Vol. 11, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedSimulations of total and polarized cloud reflectance angular signatures such as the ones measured by the multi-angular and polarized radiometer POLDER3/PARASOL are used to evaluate cloud heterogeneity effects on cloud...

From:Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Vol. 21, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedWe analyse the airborne measurements of above-cloud aerosols from the AErosol, RadiatiOn, and CLOuds in southern Africa (AEROCLO-sA) field campaign performed in Namibia during August and September 2017. The study aims to...

From:Atmospheric Measurement Techniques (Vol. 10, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThis study presents a comparison between the retrieval of optical properties of aerosol above clouds (AAC) from different techniques developed for the A-Train sensors CALIOP/CALIPSO and POLDER/PARASOL. The main...

From:Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (Vol. 100, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT The Aerosol, Radiation and Clouds in southern Africa (AEROCLOsA) project investigates the role of aerosols on the regional climate of southern Africa. This is a unique environment where natural and...
