  abstract = {{The Second Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-2) data set along
with ECMWF reanalysis meteorological fields provided the basis for the
single column model (SCM) simulations, performed as part of the PACE
(Parameterization of the Aerosol Indirect Climatic Effect) project. Six
different SCMs were used to simulate ACE-2 case studies of clean and
polluted cloudy boundary layers, with the objective being to identify
limitations of the aerosol/cloud/radiation interaction schemes within
the range of uncertainty in in situ, reanalysis and satellite retrieved
data. The exercise proceeds in three steps. First, SCMs are configured
with the same fine vertical resolution as the ACE-2 in situ data base to
evaluate the numerical schemes for prediction of aerosol activation,
radiative transfer and precipitation formation. Second, the same test is
performed at the coarser vertical resolution of GCMs to evaluate its
impact on the performance of the parameterizations. Finally, SCMs are
run for a 24-48 hr period to examine predictions of boundary layer
clouds when initialized with large-scale meteorological fields. Several
schemes were tested for the prediction of cloud droplet number
concentration (N). Physically based activation schemes using vertical
velocity show noticeable discrepancies compared to empirical schemes due
to biases in the diagnosed cloud base vertical velocity. Prognostic
schemes exhibit a larger variability than the diagnostic ones, due to a
coupling between aerosol activation and drizzle scavenging in the
calculation of N. When SCMs are initialized at a fine vertical
resolution with locally observed vertical profiles of liquid water,
predicted optical properties are comparable to observations. Predictions
however degrade at coarser vertical resolution and are more sensitive to
the mean liquid water path than to its spatial heterogeneity. Predicted
precipitation fluxes are severely underestimated and improve when
accounting for sub-grid liquid water variability. Results from the 24-48
hr runs suggest that most models have problems in simulating boundary
layer cloud morphology, since the large-scale initialization fields do
not accurately reproduce observed meteorological conditions. As a
result, models significantly overestimate optical properties. Improved
cloud morphologies were obtained for models with subgrid inversions and
subgrid cloud thickness schemes. This may be a result of representing
subgrid scale effects though we do not rule out the possibility that
better large-forcing data may also improve cloud morphology predictions.

a region of about 3000 {\times} 3000 km$^{2}$ is studied to
characterize the atmospheric boundary layer. A statistical cloud
classification method is applied to discriminate for low-level and
optically thick clouds. For AVHRR pixels covered with thick clouds,
brightness temperatures are used to evaluate the boundary layer
cloud-top temperature (CTT). The objective is to obtain accurate CTT
maps for evaluation of a global model. In this application, the
full-resolution fields are reduced to match model grid size. An estimate
of overall temperature uncertainty associated with each grid point is
also derived, which incorporates subgrid variability of the fields and
quality of the temperature retrieval. Results are compared with the
SEMAPHORE campaign measurements. A comparison with {\ldquo}DX{\rdquo}

also presented. The authors claim that such instantaneous CTT maps could
be as intensively used as classical SST maps, and both could be
efficiently complemented with gridpoint error-bar maps. They may be used
for multiple applications: (i) to provide a means to improve numerical
weather prediction and climatological reanalyses, (ii) to represent a
boundary layer global characterization to analyze the synoptic situation
of field experiments, and (iii) to allow validation and to test
development of large-scale and mesoscale models.

time of the North-South albedo asymmetry of 5 terrestrial years. Model
results support the hypothesis of a non-uniform distribution of infrared
opacity as the cause of the Voyager temperature asymmetry. Transport by
the mean meridional circulation, combined with polar vortex isolation
may be at the origin of the latitudinal contrasts of trace species, with
eddy mixing remaining restricted to low latitudes most of the Titan
year. We interpret the contrasts as a signature of non-axisymmetric
motions.

mean meridional circulation is represented by a relaxation towards a
barotropically unstable wind profile. The relaxation profile is
consistent with observations and with previous results from a 3D general
circulation model. The time constant of the forcing that best matches
the northward eddy-transport of zonal momentum from the 3D model is
{$\tau$}{\tilde}5 Titan days. The eddy wind field is a zonal wavenumber-2
wave with a peak amplitude about 10\% of the mean wind speed. The
latitudinal transport of angular momentum by the wave tends to keep the
flow close to marginal stability by carrying momentum upgradient, from
the core of the jets into the low latitudes. Although the strongest eddy
motions occur at the latitudes of the wind maxima, the strongest mixing
takes place at the barotropically unstable regions, close to
{\plusmn}30{\deg} and spanning about 30{\deg} in latitude. An eddy-mixing
time constant of the order of 1 Titan day is inferred within these
regions, and of a few tens of days within regions of stable flow.
Horizontal gradients in transient tracer fields are less than 10\% of the
latitudinal gradient of the meridional tracer profile. Cassini's
detection of such waves could provide a direct observation of wind
speeds at stratospheric levels.

single cloud band or a packet of cloud bands is generated every day at
nighttime. Their length reaches several hundreds of kilometers, their
width lies below 40 km, and their duration in some cases exceeds 24
hours. The smaller cloud lines observed behind the leading cloud line
are narrower and are separated by a distance of 2-10 km. Cloud tops are
about 3-8{\deg}C colder than the Arabian Sea, corresponding to an
altitude between 500 and 1200 m during the night and below 2500 m during

around 13 m/s, greater than the wind speed measured in the surrounding

wavelike propagation of atmospheric phenomena such as the Australian
morning glories. Common elements to the different cases are the
following: weak low-level winds close to the southwestern Indian coast
when the cloud bands appear, winds with a northerly component in the
vicinity of the northwestern Indian coast, the presence of a sea-land
breeze circulation along the West Indian coast, and the presence of high
concentrations of pollutants over the northeastern Arabian Sea. However,
existing physical links between these elements (if any) still have to be

hypothesis that, although the total estimates within large regions are
correct, the exact spatial and temporal description can be improved. It
makes use of open fire detection from the ATSR instrument that is
available since 1996. The emissions inventories are re-distributed in
space and time according to the occurrence of open fires. Although the
method is based on the night-time hot-spot product of the ATSR, other
satellite biomass burning proxies (AVHRR, TRMM, GLOBSCAR and GBA2000)
show similar distributions.
 
 The impact of the method on the
emission inventories is assessed using an aerosol transport model, the
results of which are compared to sunphotometer and satellite data. The
seasonal cycle of aerosol load in the atmosphere is significantly
improved in several regions, in particular South America and Australia.
Besides, the use of ATSR fire detection may be used to account for
interannual events, as is demonstrated on the large Indonesian fires of
1997, a consequence of the 1997-1998 El Ni{\~n}o. Despite these
improvements, there are still some large discrepancies between the
simulated and observed aerosol optical thicknesses resulting from

median particle numbers were observed to increase from values comparable
to those of the remote marine boundary layer (\~{}400 cm$^{-3}$) to
values more commonly associated with urban smog (\~{}4000 cm$^{-3}$),
due to a massive injection of submicron smoke particles. Aerosol optical
depths at 500 nm increased from 0.05 to 0.8 on average, reaching a value

number of mechanisms spanning a wide range of space and timescale. Since
1977, the METEOSAT satellites are equipped with a radiometer dedicated
to the measurements of upper tropospheric humidity (UTH) which covers a
relevant range of scales for a better understanding of the water vapor
role in the climate. Due to the changes of the satellites and the
calibration techniques over the last 20 years, this water vapor METEOSAT
archive is not homogeneous and cannot be directly used for climatic
studies. Hence the authors present in this paper a newly homogenized
METEOSAT water vapor channel archive. Two main types of anomalies entail
the original METEOSAT archive. The first one corresponds to the
successive improvements of the calibration procedure. In this case, a
statistical correction technique based on comparisons between
ECMWF-simulated brightness temperature (BT) and water vapor
METEOSAT-observed BT is developed. The second type of anomaly concerns
the METEOSAT radiometer changes over the time. While still measuring the
UTH, the details of the filter function, indeed, evolved over the last
20 years. In this second case, the correction is based on a physical
method implying simulations of the same scene by different radiometer
filter functions. Two major cases are documented in detail for September
1987 and for February 1994. Sensitivity analysis of the techniques is
conducted and the methods are shown to be robust with respect to the
details of their implementations. The efficiency of the two methods is
then evaluated. The resulting archive reveals water vapor seasonal cycle
features in better agreement with climatological estimates. The new
homogenized METEOSAT archive consists of 3-hourly total sky radiance at
the 0.625{\deg} {\times} 0.625{\deg} resolution over the July 1983 to
February 1994 period, offering the opportunity to investigate the
variability of the regional UTH from synoptic scales to interannual and

the variations of the cooling to space induced by the varying

critically on which oxidant fields are prescribed in the model.
Oxidation by O$_{3}$ appears to be significant at high latitudes
in both hemispheres. Oxidation by BrO could be significant even for BrO
concentrations at sub-pptv levels in the marine boundary layer. The
impact of such refinements on the DMS chemistry onto the indirect
radiative forcing by anthropogenic sulphate aerosols is also discussed.
