"Aerosol radiative forcing over liquid water clouds based on A-Train synergies and active/passive polarized observations".RADIATION PROCESSES IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND OCEAN (IRS2012): Proceedings of the International Radiation Symposium (IRC/IAMAS) 1531(1) (10 May 2013). DOI: 10.1063/1.4804800.https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4804800http://hdl.handle.net/11603/24976AIP Conference Proceedings 1531, 436 (2013)We used the A-Train observations as inputs of the Matrix Operator MOdel to study the effect of aerosol forcing above bright liquid water clouds in the Gulf of Guinea and to determine the vertical profile of heating rates within the aerosol layer. Special emphases are put on recently developed polarization based methodologies. METEOSAT geostationary observations are used to estimate the diurnal variation of the cloud cover.5 pagesen-USThis work was written as part of one of the author's official duties as an Employee of the United States Government and is therefore a work of the United States Government.
