Influence of the Arctic Oscillation on the vertical distribution of clouds as observed by the A-Train constellation of satellites
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the Arctic Oscillation (AO), the dominant mode of natural variability over the northerly high latitudes, on the spatial (horizontal and vertical) distribution of clouds in the Arctic. To that end, we use a suite of sensors onboard NAS...
