Abstract: Abstract Improved coastal stratocumulus (Sc) cloud forecasts are needed because traditional satellite cloud motion vectors (CMV) do not accurately predict how Sc clouds move or dissipate in time, which often results in an underprediction of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023ms004179
Abstract: Large uncertainties persist in modeling shallow, low clouds because of many interacting nonlinear processes and multiple cloud‐controlling environmental factors. In addition, sharp changes in behavior occur when environmental thresholds are met. Model studies that follow… 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.
