Cloud microphysical parameters, such as cloud droplet size (r), droplet number concentration (N<SUB align="right"><SMALL>d</SMALL></SUB>) and liquid water content (LWC), play an important role in the energy budgets of clouds, and thus the climate of the earth's atmosphere. The observations were collected during the North Atlantic...</small></sub>

Irrigated agriculture has the potential to alter regional to global climate significantly. We investigate how irrigation will affect regional climate in the future in an inland irrigation area of northern China, focusing on its effects on heat fluxes and near-surface temperature. Using the...
