Cloud characteristics, thermodynamic controls and radiative impacts during the ...
Giangrande, Scott E.; Feng, Zhe; Jensen, Michael P.; Comstock, Jennifer M.; Johnson, Karen L.; Toto, Tami; Wang, Meng; Burleyson, Casey D.Routine cloud, precipitation and thermodynamic observations collected by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Mobile Facility (AMF) and Aerial Facility (AAF) during the 2-year US Department of Energy (DOE) ARM Observations and Modeling of the Green Ocean Amazon (GoAmazon2014/5) campaign are summarized. These observations quantify the diurnal to large-scale thermodynamic regime controls on the clouds and ...
Urban pollution greatly enhances formation of natural aerosols over the Amazon ...
Shrivastava, Manish K.; Andreae, Meinrat O.; Artaxo, Paulo; Barbosa, H. M. J.; Berg, Larry K.; Brito, Joel F.; Ching, Joseph; Easter, Richard C.One of the least understood aspects in atmospheric chemistry is how urban emissions influence the formation of natural organic aerosols, which affect Earth’s energy budget. The Amazon rainforest, during its wet season, is one of the few remaining places on Earth where atmospheric chemistry transitions between preindustrial and urban-influenced conditions. Here, we integrate insights from several laboratory meas...
