Shortwave direct radiative effects of above-cloud aerosols over global oceans derived from 8 years of CALIOP and MODIS observations by Z. Zhang, Z. Zhang, K. Meyer, K. Meyer, H. Yu, H. Yu, S. Platnick, P. Colarco, Z. Liu, Z. Liu, L. Oreopoulos

“…From radiative transfer simulations based on CALIOP–MODIS observations and a set of the preselected aerosol optical models, we found the DREs of ACAs at the top of atmosphere (TOA) to be positive (i.e., warming) in the SE Atlantic and NW Pacific regions, but negative (i.e., cooling) in the TNE Atlantic Ocean and the Arabian Sea. …”
