Rutgers Professor Mark Miller Studies Marine Cloud Systems to Better Understand Their Role in a Warming Climate
Marine cloud systems are a critical component of the Earth’s climate system because they reflect incoming sunlight that would otherwise heat the ocean below. Solid overcast over northern latitude ocean regions yields to partly cloudy skies in the tropics, while the mid-latitudes serve as a transition between these two marine cloud regimes. While there is a […]
