Sentences with phrase «open cell cloud»
Rain washes out aerosols — in one process involving the conversion of closed cell to open cell cloud through faster rain formation in response to additional aerosol loading — with slow subsequent recovery of aerosols.

Open and closed cell cloud formation dynamics are driven by sea surface temperature — with cooler surfaces favoring closed cells and higher planetary albedo.
On a 20 ° S transect aerosols from different sources have a role in the creation and maintenance of bistable open and closed cell clouds.
«We show that the control of the droplet concentration (N), the environmental carrying - capacity (H0), and the cloud recovery parameter (τ) can be linked by a single nondimensional parameter (μ = √ N / (ατH0)-RRB-, suggesting that for deeper clouds the transition from open (oscillating) to closed (stable fixed point) cells will occur for higher droplet concentration (i.e., higher aerosol loading)...
«A series of cloud - resolving simulations shows that the transition between closed and open cellular states is asymmetrical and characterized by a rapid («runaway») transition from the closed - to the opencell state but slower recovery to the closed - cell state.
In principal — transition to open cell — low albedo — cloud is dependent on the amount of precipitation and therefore on the concentration of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).
