Shallow cumulus and stratocumulus clouds over open ocean surfaces play a crucial role in Earth's energy and radiation budget. These clouds are highly reflective and strongly influence the planet's temperature. While stratocumulus clouds generally exert a cooling effect by reflecting solar radiation, their response to a warming climate is complex. Some studies suggest that stratocumulus cloud...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

To best adapt to climate change, we need to accurately predict the climate along with its effects on the earth. This of course is an incredible challenge that we are facing and requires a more extensive
network of environmental measurements of the atmosphere, geosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere than can be currently achieved. To help spur the development of needed environmental...
