A complex signal to noise problem : determining the aerosol indirect effect from observations of ship tracks in AVHRR data

Creator:

Walsh, Christopher D.

Abstract:

Cloud reflectivity is a function of cloud liquid water content and droplet number concentration. Since cloud droplets form around pre-existing aerosol particles, cloud droplet number concentration depends on the availability of particles that can serve as cloud condensation nuclei. Given constant liquid water amount, increased availability of cloud condensation nuclei...
