Antarctic precipitation, clouds and their interplay with aerosols: Combining ground-based remote sensing and regional climate modeling. KU Leuven
Precipitation and clouds play a key role in the Earth’s climate system. Clouds are an essential component in the conversion chain from atmospheric water vapor to precipitation. In turn, precipitation determines the water availability at the surface of the earth. Similarly for Antarctica, where precipitation is the only source of mass to the ice sheet. Despite the importance of Antarctic precipitation and clouds, their representation in ...
