Show full item recordAbstract
Airborne data are reported on the effect of sea surface
temperature and aerosol gradients on the albedo of marine
stratocumulus clouds off the coast of central California.
Both types of gradients, at the magnitudes and spatial scales
observed, produce significant and comparable trends in the
cloud albedo ( 15% changes over 40 km).
