A meteorological overview of the ORACLES (ObseRvations of Aerosols above CLouds and their intEractionS) campaign over the southeastern Atlantic during 2016-2018: Part 2-Daily and synoptic characteristics

Ju-Mee Ryoo et al.

Summary: This paper provides a climatological overview and meteorological analyses of the ORACLES period over the southeastern Atlantic Ocean. The study identifies key meteorological characteristics and their impacts on aerosol transport and interaction with low clouds during the deployments. The findings highlight the variability in meteorological conditions and their influence on the observed aerosol-cloud interactions.

Modeled and observed properties related to the direct aerosol radiative effect of biomass burning aerosol over the southeastern Atlantic

Sarah J. Doherty et al.

Summary: In this study, four models were compared with observations of biomass burning smoke plume and underlying cloud layer. The models showed biases in simulating the plume characteristics, with overestimation of vertical diffusion and underestimation of plume concentrations. Cloud fraction and optical thickness biases varied significantly across the models. The study demonstrated that model improvements in one property may lead to even greater biases in the direct aerosol radiative effect (DARE).

Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity of Aerosol and Cloud Properties Over the Southeast Atlantic: An Observational Analysis

Ian Chang et al.

Summary: In the southeast Atlantic, aerosols above clouds are present for a third of the year. Analysis shows better statistical relationships for aerosol optical depths (AODs) when measured at <15-min temporal resolution compared to 3-h temporal resolution. Additionally, SEVIRI cloud optical depths (CODs) are mostly underestimated compared to MODIS COD retrievals.

Climate models generally underrepresent the warming by Central Africa biomass-burning aerosols over the Southeast Atlantic

Marc Mallet et al.

Summary: Research shows that biomass-burning aerosols from Central Africa have a significant impact on cloud properties and precipitation over tropical Africa. However, most current climate models underestimate the absorption of these aerosols over the South-East Atlantic, leading to an inaccurate representation of radiative forcing and precipitation feedbacks in the region.

Understanding Top-of-Atmosphere Flux Bias in the AeroCom Phase III Models: A Clear-Sky Perspective

Wenying Su et al.

Summary: Biases in aerosol optical depths (AOD) and land surface albedos in the AeroCom models affect the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) clear-sky reflected shortwave (SW) fluxes. The biases in SW fluxes are quantitatively related to AOD and land surface albedo, with different contributions over ocean and land for the multi-model mean results. The spatial patterns of SW flux biases derived from radiative kernels show similarities to observations, indicating the importance of evaluating related variables in a synergistic manner for accurate model assessments.

A meteorological overview of the ORACLES (ObseRvations of Aerosols above CLouds and their intEractionS) campaign over the southeastern Atlantic during 2016-2018: Part 1-Climatology

Ju-Mee Ryoo et al.

Summary: The ORACLES project conducted 3-month-long deployments in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean from 2016 to 2018 to study the impact of biomass burning aerosols on climate. The southern African easterly jet (AEJ-S) was a key feature during the deployment months of August 2017, September 2016, and October 2018. Notable meteorological anomalies were observed during these months compared to climatology, with differences in wind patterns, rainfall, and atmospheric circulation.

Sunlight-absorbing aerosol amplifies the seasonal cycle in low-cloud fraction over the southeast Atlantic

Jianhao Zhang et al.

Summary: The mean altitude of smoke loading over the southeast Atlantic shifts from the boundary layer to the free troposphere between July and October. Changes in cloud properties and the large-scale environment as a result of biomass burning aerosol loading are observed near Ascension Island during this period. In September, midlatitude disturbances can affect the aerosol distribution, while cleaner days with stronger boundary layer winds lead to deeper, drier, and cooler marine boundary layers compared to days with high smoke loadings.

Jim M. Haywood et al.

Summary: The representations of clouds, aerosols, and cloud-aerosol-radiation impacts are key uncertainties in climate change. The southeast Atlantic region is optimal for studying aerosol-radiation and aerosol-cloud interactions, but existing satellite observations lack the necessary resolution for detailed assessment. The CLARIFY-2017 program aims to improve model estimates, cloud properties, satellite retrievals, and the impacts of aerosols in weather and climate models.
