An observational study of the relationship between cloud, aerosol
and meteorology in broken low-level cloud conditions

[1] Global satellite analyses showing strong correlations between aerosol optical depth
and cloud cover have stirred much debate recently. While it is tempting to interpret the
results as evidence of aerosol enhancement of cloud cover, other factors such as the
influence of meteorology on both the aerosol and cloud distributions can also play a role,
as both aerosols and clouds depend upon local meteorology. This study uses satellite
observations to examine aerosol-cloud relationships for broken low-level cloud regions off
the coast of Africa. The analysis approach minimizes the influence of large-scale
meteorology by restricting the spatial and temporal domains in which the aerosol and
cloud properties are compared. While distributions of several meteorological variables
within 5 5 latitude-longitude regions are nearly identical under low and high aerosol
optical depth, the corresponding distributions of single-layer low cloud properties and
top-of-atmosphere radiative fluxes differ markedly, consistent with earlier studies showing
increased cloud cover with aerosol optical depth. Furthermore, fine-mode fraction and
Angstrom Exponent are also larger in conditions of higher aerosol optical depth, even
though no evidence of systematic latitudinal or longitudinal gradients between the low and
high aerosol optical depth populations are observed. When the analysis is repeated for all
5 5 latitude-longitude regions over the global oceans (after removing cases in which
significant meteorological differences are found between the low and high aerosol
populations), results are qualitatively sim
