Preconditioning of overcast-to-broken cloud transitions by riming in marine cold air outbreaks

<p>Marine cold air outbreaks (CAOs) commonly form overcast cloud decks that transition into broken cloud fields downwind, dramatically altering the local radiation budget. In this study, we investigate the impact of frozen hydrometeors on these transitions. We focus on a CAO case in the NW Atl...
