Published in 2017 at "Theoretical and Applied Climatology"

DOI: 10.1007/s00704-017-2192-8

Abstract: Clouds play a key role in establishing the Earth’s climate. Real cloud fields are very different and very complex in both morphological and microphysical senses. Consequently, the numerical description of the cloud field is a… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "iScience"

DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2018.11.032

Abstract: Summary Clouds control much of the Earth's energy and water budgets. Aerosols, suspended in the atmosphere, interact with clouds and affect their properties. Recent studies have suggested that the aerosol effect on warm convective cloud… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Geophysical Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl090152

Abstract: Shallow cumulus clouds exhibit highly three‐dimensional (3‐D) spatial structure leading to complex variability in the surface solar irradiance (SSI) beneath. This variability is captured by the typically bimodal shape of the SSI probability density function… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Geoscientific Model Development"

DOI: 10.5194/gmd-18-3921-2025

Abstract: Abstract. Average properties of the cloud field, such as cloud size distribution and cloud fraction, have previously been observed to evolve periodically. Identifying this behaviour, however, remains difficult due to the intrinsic variability within the… read more here.
