Discriminating between “drizzle or #rain” & sea salt #aerosols in #Cloudnet for measurements over the #Barbados Cloud Observatory - new #EUREC4A paper by @unileipzig @unileipzig.bsky.social & @TROPOS in #AMT @eurogeosciences -> https://doi.org/10.5194/amt-18-487-2025

EUREC⁴A-Intake catalog: A one-stop #OpenAccess -point for #lidar #radar #dropsonde #radiosonde #isotope #insitu #LES and many more datasets

Version 1.0.0 of the #EUREC4A #intake catalog has now been released 🎉

Thanks to everyone who contributed so far.

If you are curious how to use the catalog and its data in your study have a look at the https://howto.eurec4a.eu book.

Simulating the cloud radiative effect of shallow cumuli 🌤️ is difficult! Simulating their variability is even harder. With 41 days, 16 M grid columns (+ 24 M for 7 days) & several 100.000 node hours later, we pinpoint the challenges that remain for #LES in https://doi.org/10.1029/2023MS003648 #EUREC4A #BarbadosCloudObservatory @MPI_Meteo

The response of #clouds to warming climate comes with a large uncertainity. Are we still missing critical drivers to model clouds? ☁️
In a recent paper, scientists by us, Uni Hamburg and IPSL present the evidence for shallow mesoscale circulations using the #EUREC4A observations. Their interesting finding suggests that the mesoscale circulations, not resolved by #ClimateModels, are integral to determine the low cloud feedback.

Eureka it is!
Using the observations from the #EUREC4A field campaign, #MPIM_Scientist Geet George and #UHH research scientist Raphaela Vogel with #LMD in Paris show that the subtropical #clouds are not diminished by warming. Their findings negate the predictions of some #climate models as the cloudiness is supported by the mesoscale motions, which the models don't incorporate.

Unsere ehemalige Wissenschaftlerin Raphaela Vogel erklärt im Deutschlandfunk, was uns die Beobachtungen der #EUREC4A Messkampagne über die Klimaempfindlichkeit von Passatwindwolken verraten. Hier geht’s zum Interview: https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/manche-wolken-sind-weniger-klimaempfindlich-als-angenommen-100.html
