Estimations of global shortwave direct aerosol radiative effects above opaque water clouds using a combination of A-Train satellite sensors

<p>All-sky direct aerosol radiative effects (DARE) play a significant yet still uncertain role in climate. This is partly due to poorly quantified radiative properties of aerosol above clouds (AAC). We compute global estimates of shortwave top-of-atmosphere DARE over opaque water clouds (O...
