Mixed-phase clouds represent a three-phase colloidal system consisting of water vapor, ice
particles, and coexisting supercooled liquid droplets. Mixed-phase clouds are ubiquitous in …

Clouds play a significant role in the climate system, which affects the radiation balance and
modulates the global hydrological cycle. However, the existing cloud property products have …

Aerosol–cloud interaction (ACI) is complex and difficult to be well represented in current
climate models. Progress on understanding ACI processes, such as the influence of …

Using six flights observations in September 2015 over Hebei, China, this study shows a
robust negative aerosol‐cloud droplet effective radius (re) relationship for liquid clouds …

A 35-GHz radar has been operating at the Meteorological Observatory Lindenberg
(Germany) since 2004, measuring cloud parameters continuously. The radar is equipped …

Supercooled liquid water (SLW) layers in boundary layer clouds are abundantly observed in
the atmosphere at high latitudes, but remain a challenge to represent in numerical weather …

Based on the products of joint CloudSat and CALIPSO observations from 2006 to 2017, this
study investigates the global cloud macro-physical characteristics, including the spatial …

Using the Himawari-8 cloud product, this study investigated the seasonal, monthly, diurnal
variations as well as spatial and vertical distributions of cloud properties over four typical …

Multi-A**s Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) is a well-established
ground-based measurement technique for the detection of aerosols and trace gases …

Clouds, crucial for understanding climate, begin with droplet formation from aerosols, but
observations of this fleeting activation step are lacking in the atmosphere. Here we use a …
