Shortwave and longwave radiative forcings of aerosols depending on the vertical stratification of aerosols and clouds
E Oikawa, K Suzuki, T Nakajima… - AIP Conference …, 2017 - pubs.aip.org
We investigate four scenarios for estimating shortwave (SW) and longwave (LW) direct
aerosol radiative forcing (DARF) at the top of atmosphere (TOA) using the global data set of
the vertical distributions for aerosols and clouds of CALIPSO and CloudSat Level 2 products.
One scenario is clear-sky (cloud-free) condition and three scenarios are cloudy-sky
condition: the case that aerosols exists above clouds (AAC case), and the case that aerosols
exist below high clouds such as cirrus, but without clouds below the aerosol layers (ABC …
