Global indirect aerosol effects: a review
Ulrike Lohmann,Johann Feichter +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of aerosols on the climate system are discussed and different approaches how the climatic implications of these effects can be estimated globally as well as improvements that are needed in global climate models in order to better represent indirect aerosol effects are discussed.

The CloudSat mission and the A-train: a new dimension of space-based observations of clouds and precipitation
Graeme L. Stephens,Deborah G. Vane,Ronald J. Boain,Gerald G. Mace,Kenneth Sassen,Zhien Wang,Anthony J. Illingworth,Ewan O'Connor,William B. Rossow,Stephen L. Durden,Steven D. Miller,Richard T. Austin,Angela Benedetti,Cristian Mitrescu +13 more
TL;DR: CloudSat as discussed by the authors is a satellite experiment designed to measure the vertical structure of clouds from space, and once launched, CloudSat will orbit in formation as part of a constellation of satellites (the A-Train) that includes NASA's Aqua and Aura satellites, a NASA-CNES lidar satellite (CALIPSO), and a CNES satellite carrying a polarimeter (PARASOL).
Journal ArticleDOI
The National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Climate Model: CCM3*
Jeffrey T. Kiehl,James J. Hack,Gordon B. Bonan,Byron A. Boville,David L. Williamson,Philip J. Rasch +5 more
TL;DR: The latest version of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model (CCM3) is described in this article, where the changes in both physical and dynamical formulation from CCM2 to CCM3 are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transport impacts on atmosphere and climate: Shipping
Veronika Eyring,Ivar S. A. Isaksen,Terje Koren Berntsen,William J. Collins,James J. Corbett,Øyvind Endresen,Roy G. Grainger,Jana Moldanová,Hans Schlager,David Stevenson +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an assessment of the contribution of gaseous and particulate emissions from oceangoing shipping to anthropogenic emissions and air quality, and assess the degradation in human health and climate change created by these emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of physical and chemical aerosol properties on warm cloud droplet activation
Gordon McFiggans,Paulo Artaxo,Urs Baltensperger,Hugh Coe,Maria Cristina Facchini,Graham Feingold,Sandro Fuzzi,Martin Gysel,Martin Gysel,Ari Laaksonen,Ulrike Lohmann,Thomas F. Mentel,Daniel M. Murphy,Colin D. O'Dowd,Jefferson R. Snider,Ernest Weingartner +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the effects that the composition and properties of atmospheric aerosol can have on the activation of droplets in warm clouds, so potentially influencing the magnitude of the indirect effect.

Impact of Aerosols on Convective Clouds and Precipitation
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of aerosols on convective precipitation processes has been studied in the context of cloud resolution models (CRMs) and the results from (CRM) simulations.
