DOI: 10.1029/2020gl091469
Abstract: The southeast Atlantic has expansive aerosol plumes overlying clouds for a third of each year. Aerosol optical depths (AODs) were measured from the airborne Sun photometer and lidar during the 2016 NASA ObseRvations of Aerosols… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/mwr-d-20-0250.1
Abstract: Large, abrupt clearing events have been documented in the marine stratocumulus cloud deck over the subtropical Southeast Atlantic Ocean. In these events, clouds are rapidly eroded along a line hundreds–to–thousands of kilometers in length that… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/acp-2021-668
Abstract: Abstract. We currently have a limited understanding of the spatial and temporal variability in vertically stratified atmospheric layers over Namibia and the southeast Atlantic (SEA) Ocean. Stratified layers are relevant to the transport and dilution… read more here.
