The following. collection of slides were assembled from various presentations and from the Afternoon Constellation Operations Coordination Plan.. As mentioned at the meeting, several of the slides are out-dated – they typically do not take into account later missions, i.e., OCO-2, GCOM-W1, or Glory.. Investigate how pollution interacts with storm clouds and the impacts on the large-scale circulation and radiative forcing.. Research. Used . high-resolution, . cloud-resolving model to simulate two different types of storm systems at a regional scale: warm summer thunderstorms in southeastern China and cool, windy frontal systems on the Great Plains of . Two key impacts. Cloud feedback. Response of clouds to increased CO. 2. Aerosol indirect effects (AIEs). Response of clouds to changes in aerosol particles. Cloud feedbacks.
