Impacts of South Asian aerosol inflow over Mount Qomolangma on downstream cloud–precipitation processes through a long-range ice-crystal “seeding” effect

Mount Qomolangma (MQ) serves as a natural laboratory for investigating aerosol–cloud–precipitation interactions over the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Using satellite and comprehensive ground-based observations, we identify pronounced ice-cloud activation associated with transported exog...

A Physics‐Guided Feature Selection Machine Learning Approach for Cloud Probability Retrieval and Detection From TEMPO Imagery

Abstract Accurate cloud detection is critical for reliable retrievals of aerosols and trace gases from remote‐sensing measurements. TEMPO provides unprecedented hourly observations over North America, but radiometric calibration biases, thousands of spectral channels, and limited...
