Spaceborne radars offer a unique three‐dimensional view of the atmospheric components
of the Earth's hydrological cycle. Existing and planned spaceborne radar missions provide …

Climate change has critical adverse impacts on human society and poses severe
challenges to global sustainable development. Information on essential climate variables …

Climate projections continue to be marred by large uncertainties, which originate in
processes that need to be parameterized, such as clouds, convection, and ecosystems. But …

Abstract The Earth Cloud, Aerosol and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) is a satellite mission
implemented by the European Space Agency (ESA), in cooperation with the Japan …

As the atmosphere warms, part of the cloud population shifts from ice and mixed-phase
('cold') to liquid ('warm') clouds. Because warm clouds are more reflective and longer-lived …

The Arctic Cloud Puzzle: Using ACLOUD/PASCAL Multiplatform Observations to Unravel the
Role of Clouds and Aerosol Particles in Arctic Amplification in: Bulletin of the American …

By interacting with radiation, clouds modulate the flow of energy through the Earth system,
the circulation of the atmosphere, and regional climate. We review the impact of cloud …

Two airborne field campaigns focusing on observations of Arctic mixed-phase clouds and
boundary layer processes and their role with respect to Arctic amplification have been …

To address the need to map precipitation on a global scale, a collection of satellites carrying
passive microwave (PMW) radiometers has grown over the last 20 years to form a …

Tropical cirrus clouds, ie, any type of ice cloud with tops above 400 hPa, play a critical role in
the climate system and are a major source of uncertainty in our understanding of global …
