Investigating relationships between aerosol optical depth and cloud fraction using satellite, aerosol reanalysis and general circulation model data
- Abstract:
-
Strong positive relationships between cloud fraction (fc) and aerosol optical depth (τ) have been reported. Data retrieved from the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument show positive fc-τ relationships across most of the globe. A global mean f c increase of approximately 0.2 between low and high τ conditions is found for both ocean and land. However, these relationships are not necessarily due to cloud-aerosol interactions. Using state-of-the-art Monitoring Atmosph...
