2005: Cluster analysis of cloud regimes and characteristic dynamics of midlatitude synoptic systems in observations and a (2009)

Neil D. Gordon, Joel R. Norris, Christopher P. Weaver, Stephen A. Klein

[1] Global climate models typically do not correctly simulate cloudiness associated with midlatitude synoptic systems because coarse grid spacing prevents them from resolving dynamics occurring at...

1998a: Low cloud type over the ocean from surface observations. Part I: Relationship to surface meteorology and the vertical distribution of temperature and moisture (2009)

Joel R. Norris, Stephen A. Klein

Composite large-scale dynamical fields contemporaneous with low cloud types observed at midlatitude Ocean Weather Station (OWS) C and eastern subtropical OWS N are used to establish representative...

Continental liquid water cloud variability and its parameterization using Atmospheric Radiation Measurement data (2009)

Byung-gon Kim, Stephen A. Klein, Joel R. Norris

[1] Liquid water path (LWP) variability at scales ranging from roughly 200 m to 20 km in continental boundary layer clouds is investigated using ground-based remote sensing at the Oklahoma site of...

POTENTIAL FEEDBACKS BETWEEN PACIFIC OCEAN ECOSYSTEMS AND INTERDECADAL CLIMATE VARIATIONS (2007)

Ceanic Ecosystems Influence, J. Miller, Michael A. Alexander, George J. Boer, Fei Chai, Ken Denman, ...

this paper is to motivate a coordinated modeling and observational effort to study coupled physical--biological mechanisms of interdecadal climate variability in the Pacific. (This discussion...

Potential Feedbacks Between Pacific Ocean Ecosystems and Interdecadal Climate Variations. (2003)

Miller, Arthur J., Alexander, Michael A., Boer, George J., Chai, Fei, Denman, Ken, III, David J. Erickson, ...

Oceanic ecosystems altered by interdecadal climate variability may provide a feedback to the physical climate by phytoplankton affecting heat fluxes into the upper ocean and dimethylsulfide fluxes...

WHAT CAN CLOUD OBSERVATIONS TELL US ABOUT CLIMATE VARIABILITY? (1999)

Joel R. Norris

Abstract. Clouds have a large impact on the Earth’s radiation budget and hence have the potential to exert strong feedbacks on climate variability and climate change. These feedbacks are not...
