Field Experiments to Improve the Treatment of Radiation in the Mid-to-Upper Troposphere
Aug 18, 2010 [ Research Highlights ]
Radiative cooling and heating in the mid-to-upper troposphere contribute significantly to the dynamical processes and radiative balance that regulate Earth's climate. In the longwave, the dominant agent of this radiative cooling is water vapor. The dominant role of water vapor in middle-and-upper tropospheric processes is shown the spectral cooling rate profile for a mid-latitude summer [...]

Ice Nucleation Link to Aerosols for Global Models
Jul 16, 2010 [ Research Highlights ]
The formation of ice in clouds is of vital importance to life on Earth, as ice formation is one of the key processes for precipitation initiation. Since ice nucleation is tied to the action of specific aerosol particles (ice nuclei: IN) representing only 1 in 10^5 or less ambient particles, natural and human impacts [...]
