Jenkins, A. K. L.; et al. (2013): The effects of timing and rate of marine cloud brightening aerosol injection on albedo changes during the diurnal cycle of marine stratocumulus clouds

Jenkins, A. K. L.; Forster, P. M.; Jackson, L. S. (2013): The effects of timing and rate of marine cloud brightening aerosol injection on albedo changes during the diurnal cycle of marine stratocumulus clouds. In: Atmos. Chem. Phys. 13 (3), pp. 1659–1673.

"The focus of this study is to quantify the albedo response to aerosols injected into marine stratocumulus cloud from a point source at different times of day."
