New Particle Formation Events Can Reduce Cloud Droplets in Boundary Layer Clouds at the Continental Scale

New particle formation (NPF) substantially contributes to global cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and their climate impacts. Individual NPF events are also thought to increase local CCN, cloud droplet number (CDN), and cloud albedo. High resolution simulat ...

Use of lidar aerosol extinction and backscatter coefficients to estimate cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations in the southeast Atlantic

Athanasios Nenes, Feng Xu

Accurately capturing cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations is key to understanding the aerosol-cloud interactions that continue to feature the highest uncertainty amongst numerous climate forcings. In situ CCN observations are sparse, and most non ...

Aerosol source identification in the spring and summertime central Arctic Ocean using high-resolution mass spectrometry during MOSAiC

Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Imad El Haddad, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Hélène Paule Angot, Lubna Dada

The Arctic region is experiencing considerable changes and is warming at a rate three to four times as fast as the rest of the world. Aerosols, which can be from natural or anthropogenic sources, locally emitted or long-range transported, play a crucial ro ...

Arctic warming by abundant fine sea salt aerosols from blowing snow

Jian Wang, Julia Schmale, Nora Bergner, Xin Yang, Markus Frey

The Arctic warms nearly four times faster than the global average, and aerosols play an increasingly important role in Arctic climate change. In the Arctic, sea salt is a major aerosol component in terms of mass concentration during winter and spring. Howe ...

Stochastic Super-Resolution for Downscaling Time-Evolving Atmospheric Fields With a Generative Adversarial Network

Alexis Berne, Jussi Sakari Leinonen, Daniele Nerini

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have been recently adopted for super-resolution, an application closely related to what is referred to as "downscaling'' in the atmospheric sciences: improving the spatial resolution of low-resolution images. The abil ...

Constraining the Twomey effect from satellite observations: issues and perspectives

Athanasios Nenes

The Twomey effect describes the radiative forcing associated with a change in cloud albedo due to an increase in anthropogenic aerosol emissions. It is driven by the perturbation in cloud droplet number concentration (Delta N-d, (ant)) in liquid-water clou ...

Drivers of cloud droplet number variability in the summertime in the southeastern United States

Athanasios Nenes, André Welti

Here we analyze regional-scale data collected on board the NOAA WP-3D aircraft during the 2013 Southeast Nexus (SENEX) campaign to study the aerosol-cloud droplet link and quantify the sensitivity of droplet number to aerosol number, chemical composition, ...
