Abstract. The spatiotemporal variation of fog reflects the complex interactions among fog, boundary layer thermodynamics and synoptic systems. Previous studies revealed that can present a fast spatial propagation feature attribute it to low-level jet (BLLJ), but effect BLLJ on is not quantitatively understood. Here we analyze large-scale event in Jiangsu, China, from 20 21 January 2020. Satellite retrievals show propagates southeast coastal area northwest inland with speed 9.6 m s−1, which 3 times larger than ground wind speeds. meteorologies are insufficient explain propagation, further investigated by Weather Research Forecasting model (WRF) simulations. could be attributed occurring between 50 500 m, because speeds (10 s−1) directions (southeast) core consistent propagation. Through sensitive experiments process analysis, three possible mechanisms revealed: (1) abundant oceanic moisture transported inland, increasing humidity promoting condensation; (2) warm air enhancing inversion favoring accumulation; (3) advection probably promotes low-stratus formation, later subsides become turbulent mixing droplets. would decrease notably 6.4 s−1 (66 %) if BLLJ-related advections were turned off.

Abstract Relative dispersion ( ε ), as a parameter characterizing droplet spectral shape, exerts considerable impact on cloud radiation and precipitation processes, its accurate parameterization is urgently needed in models. Current parameterizations, which are based number concentration or simply set constants, inadequate to satisfy the demand. This study shows, utilizing in‐situ fog observations from five underlying surface regions (urban, suburban, mountainous, coastal rainforest) of China, that uniformly stably manifests initially increasing then decreasing volume‐mean diameter increases across these regions. Based this relationship, established, exhibits improved predictive capabilities evaluating both albedo effect lifetime effect. The expected enhance simulation accuracy minimize discrepancy between observed simulated precipitation, particularly for weather climate models commonly use double‐moment microphysical schemes.

Abstract. Clouds exhibit a wide range of vertical morphologies that are regulated by distinct atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics related to diversity microphysical properties radiative effects. In this study, the new CERES-CloudSat-CALIPSO-MODIS (CCCM) RelD1 dataset is used investigate morphology spatial distribution different cloud structure (CVS) types during 2007–2010. The combined active passive satellites provide more precise CVS than those only based on imagers or microwave radiometers. We group clouds into 12 classes how they located overlapping in three standard layers with pressure thresholds 440 680 hPa. For each types, global average effects (CREs) at top atmosphere, within atmosphere surface, as well heating rate (CHR) profiles examined. observations subsequently evaluate variations total, high-, middle- low-level fractions CMIP6 models. “historical” experiment 1850–2014 two scenarios (ssp245 ssp585) 2015–2100 analyzed. observational results show substantial difference pattern among greatest contrast between high low clouds. Single-layer fraction almost 4 times larger multi-layer fraction, significant geographic differences associated clearly distinguishable regimes, showing regionally confined. CREs reveal four CVSs warm planet, while eight them cool it. longwave component drives net CHR profile, curved intricate single-layer clouds, resulting complex thermal stratifications. According long-term analysis from CMIP6, projected total decreases faster over land ocean. ocean increase significantly, but other continue decrease, helping offset decrease oceanic fraction. Moreover, it concluded may not be significantly altered climate change, influenced. Our findings suggest observed should emphasized future better understand responses anthropogenic forcing change.

Abstract. Aerosol–cloud interaction (ACI) in fog and planetary boundary layer (PBL) conditions plays critical roles the life cycle. However, it is not clear how ACI first (Fog1) affects PBL subsequently second (Fog2), which important information for understanding between PBL, as well their effects on properties. To fill this knowledge gap, we simulate two successive radiation events Yangtze River Delta, China, using Weather Research Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem). Our simulations indicate that conducive to Fog2 formation are affected by high aerosol loading Fog1; subsequently, promotes Fog2, resulting a higher liquid water content, droplet number concentration, smaller size, larger optical depth, wider distribution, longer lifetime than Fog1. This phenomenon related following physical factors. The factor involves meteorological formation, including low temperature, humidity, stability. feedbacks microphysics radiative cooling. A concentration increases path thereby enhancing long-wave cooling condensation near top. third macrophysics, radiation, turbulence. top presents stronger base, weakens temperature inversion strengthens turbulence, ultimately increasing fog-top height area. In summary, under polluted conditions, postpones dissipation of Fog1 owing these generates more those prior These promote earlier further strengthening Fog2. findings studying aerosols, fog, PBL; moreover, they shed new light ACI.

In this work, we introduce a novel approach to model the rain and fog effect on light detection ranging (LiDAR) sensor performance for simulation-based testing of LiDAR systems. The proposed methodology allows simulation using rigorous applications Mie scattering theory time domain transient point cloud levels spatial analyses. analysis permits us benchmark virtual signal attenuation signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) caused by droplets. addition, rate (DR), false (FDR), distance error derror due droplets are evaluated level. mean absolute percentage (MAPE) is used quantify real measurement results measurements match well if simulated distributions same. degrades more under influence than in rain.

Abstract With the changing climate, study of fog formation is essential due to impact complexity natural and anthropogenic aerosols. The evolution droplet size distribution in presence different aerosol species remains poorly understood. To make progress towards reducing uncertainty forecasts, Eulerian–Lagrangian particle‐based small‐scale model for diffusional growth droplets used better understand activation growth. simulations are performed using observed data from Winter Fog Experiment over Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi. microphysical properties, such as number concentrations (Nd) liquid water content (LWC), important simulation, evaluated gain more insights. have shown properties at evolutionary stages. Nd effective radius change with variations LWC chemistries (i.e., organics, mix, inorganic). calculated visibility small scale also variation LWC. This compared an existing parametrization parcel–direct numerical simulation calculation. hygroscopicity , which highly related aerosols condensation nuclei, taken into account demonstrate contribution chemistry formation. results highlight that prediction regulated by species.
