Cloud entrainment, the mixing between cloudy and clear air at the boundary of clouds,
constitutes one paradigm for the relevance of small scales in the Earth system: By regulating …

Clouds over the ocean, particularly throughout the tropics, are poorly understood and drive
much of the uncertainty in model-based projections of climate change. In early 2010, the …

Boundary layer meteorology, a sub-discipline of meteorology, is concerned with the state of
and processes in the air layer in immediate contact with the Earth's surface. This air layer …

High spatial resolution measurements of temperature and liquid water content,
accompanied by moderate-resolution measurements of humidity and turbulence, collected …

Entrainment of dry air into clouds strongly influences cloud optical and precipitation
properties and the response of clouds to aerosol perturbations. The response of cloud …

The turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate is one of the most important quantities
characterizing turbulence. Experimental studies of a turbulent flow in terms of the energy …

We have analyzed near-global stratospheric data (and mesospheric data as well for H 2 O)
in terms of absolute abundances, variability, and trends for O 3, H 2 O, HCl, N 2 O, and HNO …

Entrainment, subsequent mixing processes, and their microphysical influences in cumulus
and stratocumulus clouds are essential to cloud physics and further affect aerosol‐cloud …

The combination of downward-looking airborne lidar, radar, microwave, and imaging
spectrometer measurements was exploited to characterize the vertical and small-scale …

High‐resolution measurements from the Airborne Cloud‐Turbulence Observation System
(ACTOS) during the Azores Stratocumulus Measurements of Radiation, Turbulence and …
