Wang, Yuan, 2020, "Determinant Role of Aerosols from Industrial Sources in Hurricane Harvey’s Catastrophe", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.UJ7WGQ, Geophysical Research Letters., JPL Open Repository
The destructive power of tropical cyclones is driven by latent heat released from water 36 condensation and is inevitably linked to the abundance of aerosols as cloud condensation nuclei. 37 However, the aerosol effects are unaccounted for in most operational hurricane forecast m... |

Choi, Myungje, 2020, "Aerosol profiling using radiometric and polarimetric spectral measurements in the O2 near infrared bands: Estimation of information content and measurement uncertainties", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.ERBAZW, Remote Sensing of Environment, JPL Open Repository
Characterization of aerosol vertical distribution in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) using passive remote sensing requires advances in the current state of the art. To quantify the performance of various passive sensor designs within a common framework we developed an aerosol... |

Juilin Li, 2020, "Impacts of Falling Ice Radiative Effects on Projections of Southern Ocean Sea Ice Change under Global Warming", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.EJMMLR, Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (TAO), JPL Open Repository
AbstractThe falling ice (snow) radiative effects (FIREs) have previously been shown to contribute substantially to reduced discrepancies in simulation of present-day climatology of radiation, skin temperatures and sea ice concentration and thickness over the Southern Ocean. This... |

Hui Su, 2020, "Environmental controls on tropical mesoscale convective system precipitation intensity", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.Z2ZJEP, Journal of Atmospheric Sciences, JPL Open Repository
Using multiple independent satellite and reanalysis datasets, we compare relationships between mesoscale convective system (MCS) precipitation intensity (Pmax), environmental moisture, large-scale vertical velocity, and system radius among tropical continental and oceanic regions... |

Hui Su, 2020, "Applying satellite observations of tropical cyclone internal structures to rapid intensification forecast with machine learning", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.TA5SHC, Geophysical Research Letters, JPL Open Repository
Tropical cyclone (TC) intensity change is controlled by both environmental conditions and internal storm processes. We show that TC 24-hour subsequent intensity change (DV24) is linearly correlated with the departures in satellite observations of inner-core precipitation, ice wat... |

Jonathan Jiang, 2020, "Wintertime particulate matter decrease buffered by unfavorable chemical processes despite emission reductions in China", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.LSS0I9, Geophysical Research Letters, JPL Open Repository
Extreme and persistent haze events frequently occur during wintertime China. While recent emissions reductions reduced annual mean fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations over eastern China, their effectiveness on wintertime PM2.5 trend remains uncertain. We use observatio... |

Jonathan Jiang, 2020, "Reduced European aerosol emissions suppress winter extremes over northern Eurasia", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.3ELQSG, Nature Climate Change, JPL Open Repository
Winter extreme weather events receive major public attention due to their serious impacts[1], but the dominant factors regulating their interdecadal trends have not been clearly established[2,3]. Here we show that the radiative forcing due to geospatially redistributed anthropoge... |

Wang, Yuan, 2020, "Impact of Cloud Ice Particle Size Uncertainty in A Climate Model and Implications for Future Satellite Missions", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.D8X7VT, JGR-Atmosphere, JPL Open Repository
Ice particle size is pivotal to determining ice cloud radiative effect and precipitating rate. However, there is a lack of accurate ice particle effective radius (Rei) observation on the global scale to constrain its representation in climate models. In support of future mission... |

Qing Yue, 2020, "Combining In-situ and Satellite Observations to Understand the Vertical Structure of Tropical Anvil Cloud Microphysical Properties During the TC4 Experiment", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.MTHCSI, Earth and Space Science, JPL Open Repository
Tropical anvil clouds have a profound impact on Earth’s weather and climate. Their role in Earth’s energy balance and hydrologic cycle is heavily modulated by the vertical structure of the microphysical properties for various hydrometeors in these clouds and their dependence on t... |

Jonathan Jiang, 2020, "Assessment of CMIP6 Cloud Fraction and Comparison With Satellite Observations", https://doi.org/10.48577/jpl.N5UT6A, Earth and Space Science, JPL Open Repository
The seasonal and regional variations of cloud fractions are compared across two generations of global climate model ensembles, specifically, the Coupled ModelIntercomparison Project-5 (CMIP5) and CMIP6, through the historical period in terms of skills and multi-model agreement. W... |
