- An aircraft case study of the spatial transition from closed to open mesoscale cellular convection over the Southeast Pacific (2010, background): “1), which have a dominant horizontal scale of some 30–40 km, a typical value for stratocumulus over the Southeast Pacific (Wood and Hartmann, 2006).”
- Observational Evidence That Enhanced Subsidence Reduces Subtropical Marine Boundary Layer Cloudiness (2013, background): “These trade cumulus often occur within a deep, decoupled MBL (Albrecht et al. 1995; Norris 1998a; Wood and Hartmann 2006).”
- On the Relationship between Stratiform Low Cloud Cover and Lower-Tropospheric Stability (2006, background): “…stratiform low cloud fraction (CF) is strongly correlated with the lower-tropospheric stability (LTS), defined as the difference between the potential temperature of the free troposphere (700 hPa) and the surface, LTS 700 0 (Slingo 1987; Klein and Hartmann 1993; Klein 1997; Wood and Hartmann 2006).”
- The Distribution of Cloud Horizontal Sizes (2011, background): “This is the typical outer scale of the mesoscale organization inherent in marine stratocumulus sheets (Wood and Hartmann 2006).”
- Stratocumulus Cloud-Top Height Estimates and Their Climatic Implications (2009, background): “1; Wood and Hartmann 2006); these cloud fractions exceed our expectations for the ISCCP operational misidentification of low cloud-top height.”
- Cancellation of Aerosol Indirect Effects in Marine Stratocumulus through Cloud Thinning (2007, background): “5b shows, the R IE 0 response is predominantly determined by the lower-tropospheric stability (red circles), with an additional dependence upon RHFT. Lower stability favors deeper boundary layers (Wood and Hartmann 2006) and elevated cloud bases.”
- Cosmic Rays and Climate (2005, background): “On the other hand, the region of the southeastern Pacific Ocean dominated by mesoscale cellular convection [153] coincides closely with the observed region of strong solar cycle modulation.”
- Climatology of stratocumulus cloud morphologies: microphysical properties and radiative effects (2014, background): “These four morphological types are (i) homogeneous overcast Sc sheets without cellularity on the mesoscale, (ii) organized closed MCC, (iii) organized open MCC and (iv) inhomogeneous disorganized cells (Wood and Hartmann, 2006; Wood, 2012).”
- The scale problem in quantifying aerosol indirect effects (2011, background): “Wood and Hartmann (2006), using MODIS data at a base resolution of 1 km, found dominant scales ofL variability to be between 5 and 50 km, still smaller than the typical analysis scales of≥1◦.”
