The recently published GRL article, entitled "ESA's Aeolus Mission Reveals Uncertainties in Tropical Wind and Wave-Driven Circulations," by N. Žagar and colleagues from the Atmospheric Dynamics and Predictability Group at the Meteorological Institute and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, is featured in...

In a new study, CLICCS researcher Florian Römer and colleagues explore the clear-sky shortwave water vapor feedback, a lesser-known mechanism that amplifies warming by increasing the atmosphere’s ability to trap sunlight as water vapor levels rise. While the longwave (infrared) effects of water vapor are well understood...

The GRL article "Transient Darkening of Low-Level Liquid Clouds by the 2022 Hunga Lamb Wave Observed in GOES-R Imagery" by Ákos Horváth et al., describes how the volcanic eruption temporarily darkened clouds on the other side of the planet. This study was recently featured in Nature as a research highlight.
