Cloud inhomogeneity from MODIS
September 26, 2004 —
Horizontally inhomogeneous clouds reflect, transmit, absorb, and emit different amounts of solar or thermal (infrared) radiation than their homogeneous counterparts. By quantifying cloud inhomogeneity on a global basis we hope to make advances in the repr . . . [continued]

Soil moisture regional impacts on summer rainfall
September 12, 2004 —
The impact of soil moisture on precipitation has historically been hard to quantify. Some limitations in determining this impact include a lack of observational data and the fact that the strength of this impact can vary between separate computational es . . . [continued]

Ice-Melt Cloud Relationship
September 5, 2004 —
The influence of including melting and freezing of precipitating water, thus far neglected in our and many other computer models of clouds, was assessed within the GSFC climate model (GCM) with a most up-to-date cloud physics scheme named McRAS. It solve . . . [continued]
