Describing seasonal mixtures of cloud regimes via “regimes of regimes”

Abstract We propose a new type of cloud classification, relevant to monthly or longer time scales, but which inherently still encompasses cloud subgrid variability information at ~100 km scales. Our proposed classification partitions frequencies of occurrence over these scales of previously defined cloud regimes (CRs). We call the resulting distinct cloud entities regimes of regimes (RORs). While the CRs have been previously shown to successfully classify daily mesoscale subgrid variability via distributions of cloud fraction within distinct combinations of cloud top pressure and cloud optical thickness, the RORs essentially represent the prevalent seasonal mixtures of these CRs. RORs thus embody the seasonal cloudiness of a mesoscale region. We show that each ROR can still be associated with more traditional cloud classifications via composites of coincident active (lidar and cloud radar) cloud views. In a first application that gauges the potential utility of RORs, we pair them with CERES EBAF radiative fluxes to gain insight into recent trends of the cloud radiative effect. The ROR corresponding to an environment of shallow convection stands out in this analysis largely because of its declining population. Our study demonstrates the potential of RORs to categorize globally mesoscale cloudiness at monthly/seasonal scales and to serve as proxies of different atmospheric states at these scales.

ARMTRAJ: a set of multipurpose trajectory datasets augmenting the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility measurements

Abstract. Ground-based instruments offer unique capabilities such as detailed atmospheric, thermodynamic, cloud, and aerosol profiling at a high temporal sampling rate. The U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility provides comprehensive datasets from key locations around the globe, facilitating long-term characterization and process-level understanding of clouds, aerosol, and aerosol–cloud interactions. However, as with other ground-based datasets, the fixed (Eulerian) nature of these measurements often introduces a knowledge gap in relating those observations with air-mass hysteresis. Here, we describe ARMTRAJ (https://doi.org/10.5439/2309851, Silber, 2024a; https://doi.org/10.5439/2309849, Silber, 2024b; https://doi.org/10.5439/2309850, Silber, 2024c; https://doi.org/10.5439/2309848, Silber, 2024d), a set of multipurpose trajectory datasets that helps close this gap in ARM deployments. Each dataset targets a different aspect of atmospheric research, including the analysis of surface, planetary boundary layer, distinct liquid-bearing cloud layers, and (primary) cloud decks. Trajectories are calculated using the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model informed by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts ERA5 reanalysis dataset at its highest spatial resolution (0.25°) and are initialized using ARM datasets. The trajectory datasets include information about air-mass coordinates and state variables extracted from ERA5 before and after the ARM site overpass. Ensemble runs generated for each model initialization enhance trajectory consistency, while ensemble variability serves as a valuable uncertainty metric for those reported air-mass coordinates and state variables. Following the description of dataset processing and structure, we demonstrate applications of ARMTRAJ to a case study and a few bulk analyses of observations collected during ARM's Eastern Pacific Cloud Aerosol Precipitation Experiment (EPCAPE) field deployment. ARMTRAJ will soon become a near real-time product accompanying new ARM deployments and an augmenting product to ongoing and previous deployments, promoting reaching science goals of research relying on ARM observations.

Ampycloud: an open-source algorithm to determine cloud base heights and sky coverage fractions from ceilometer data

Abstract. Ceilometers are used routinely at aerodromes worldwide to derive the height and sky coverage fraction of cloud layers. This information, possibly combined with direct observations by human observers, contributes to the production of meteorological aerodrome reports (METARs). Here, we present ampycloud, a new algorithm, and its associated Python package for automatic processing of ceilometer data with the aim of determining the sky coverage fraction and base height of cloud layers above aerodromes. The ampycloud algorithm was developed at the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology (MeteoSwiss) as part of the AMAROC (AutoMETAR/AutoReport rOund the Clock) program to help in the fully automatic production of METARs at Swiss civil aerodromes. ampycloud is designed to work with no direct human supervision. The algorithm consists of three distinct, sequential steps that rely on agglomerative clustering methods and Gaussian mixture models to identify distinct cloud layers from individual cloud base hits reported by ceilometers. The robustness of the ampycloud algorithm stems from the first processing step, which is simple and reliable. It constrains the two subsequent processing steps that are more sensitive but also better suited to handling complex cloud distributions. The software implementation of the ampycloud algorithm takes the form of an eponymous, pip-installable Python package developed on GitHub and made publicly accessible.

Two distinct molecular cloud populations detected in massive galaxies

ABSTRACT We present new ALMA observations of CO, CN, CS, HCN, and HCO$^{+}$ absorption seen against the bright and compact radio continuum sources of eight galaxies. Combined with archival observations, they reveal two distinct populations of molecular clouds, which we identify by combining CO emission and absorption profiles to unambiguously reveal each cloud’s direction of motion and likely location. In galaxy discs, we see clouds with low velocity dispersions, low line-of-sight velocities, and a lack of any systemic inflow or outflow. In galactic cores, we find high velocity dispersion clouds inflowing at up to 550 km s−1. This provides observational evidence in favour of cold accretion on to galactic centres, which likely contributes to the fuelling of active galactic nuclei. We also see a wide range in the CO(2-1)/CO(1-0) ratios of the absorption lines. This is likely the combined effect of hierarchical substructure within the molecular clouds and continuum sources which vary in size with frequency.

Innovative cloud quantification: deep learning classification and finite-sector clustering for ground-based all-sky imaging

Abstract. Accurate cloud quantification is essential in climate change research. In this work, we construct an automated computer vision framework by synergistically incorporating deep neural networks and finite-sector clustering to achieve robust whole-sky image-based cloud classification, adaptive segmentation and recognition under intricate illumination dynamics. A bespoke YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once 8) architecture attains over 95 % categorical precision across four archetypal cloud varieties curated from extensive annual observations (2020) at a Tibetan highland station. Tailor-made segmentation strategies adapted to distinct cloud configurations, allied with illumination-invariant image enhancement algorithms, effectively eliminate solar interference and substantially boost quantitative performance even in illumination-adverse analysis scenarios. Compared with the traditional threshold analysis method, the cloud quantification accuracy calculated within the framework of this paper is significantly improved. Collectively, the methodological innovations provide an advanced solution to markedly escalate cloud quantification precision levels imperative for climate change research while offering a paradigm for cloud analytics transferable to various meteorological stations.

Fusing differentiable rendering and language–image contrastive learning for superior zero-shot point cloud classification

Zero-shot point cloud classification involves recognizing categories not encountered during training. Current models often exhibit reduced accuracy on unseen categories without 3D pre-training, emphasizing the need for improved precision and interoperability. We propose a novel approach integrating differentiable rendering with contrastive language–image pre-training. Initially, differentiable rendering autonomously learns representative viewpoints from the data, enabling the transformation of point clouds into multi-view images while preserving key visual information. This transformation facilitates optimized viewpoint selection during training, refining the final feature representation. Features are extracted from the multi-view images and integrated into a global multi-view feature using a cross-attention mechanism. On the textual side, a large language model (LLM) is provided with 3D heuristic prompts to generate 3D-specific text reflecting category-specific traits, from which textual features are derived. The LLM’s extensive pre-trained knowledge enables it to capture abstract notions and categorical features relevant to distinct point cloud categories. Visual and textual features are aligned in a unified embedding space, enabling zero-shot classification. Throughout training, the Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) is integrated into the loss function to encourage the model to discern more distinctive viewpoints, reduce redundancy in multi-view imagery, and enhance computational efficiency. Experimental results on the ModelNet10, ModelNet40, and ScanObjectNN datasets demonstrate classification accuracies of 75.68%, 66.42%, and 52.03%, respectively, surpassing prevailing methods in zero-shot point cloud classification accuracy.

Multi-source point cloud registration for urban areas using a coarse-to-fine approach

ABSTRACT The foundational step in constructing a digital twin involves transforming the physical world into an immersive 3D virtual environment. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based photogrammetry, mobile mapping system (MMS), and terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) serve as powerful tools for 3D reconstruction of urban environments. Given the distinctive strengths and weaknesses of each sensor, a multi-source point cloud registration technique is imperative to achieve a detailed and precisely geolocated 3D urban model. Hence, we developed coarse-to-fine approach methods, called building exterior wall-based (BEWB) and building outline-based (BOB) algorithms, to register point clouds captured by diverse sensors in urban scenes. The BEWB algorithm coarsely registers urban point clouds by extracting building exterior walls, establishing correspondence points, and effectively removing outliers within this correspondence point set. The BOB algorithm precisely registers the urban point clouds acquired from multiple sensors by leveraging building outlines and points corresponding to the ground of the point clouds. To validate the proposed algorithms, we initially registered a UAV-based photogrammetry point cloud with the MMS point cloud and subsequently registered the TLS point clouds. Comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analyzes of the results demonstrate that our algorithms outperform existing methods in achieving precise registration. By successfully registering three distinct point clouds, we generated a comprehensive urban scene point cloud characterized by enhanced precision, point density, and geolocation accuracy.

ENSO Disrupts Boreal Winter CRE Feedback

Abstract Twenty years of satellite-based cloud and radiation observations allow us to examine the observed cloud radiative effect (CRE) feedback (i.e., CRE change per unit change in global mean surface temperature). By employing a decomposition method to separate the contribution of “internal changes” and “relative-frequency-of-occurrence (RFO) changes” of distinct cloud regime (CR) groups, notable seasonal contrasts of CRE feedback characteristics emerge. Boreal winter CRE feedback is dominated by the positive shortwave CRE (SWCRE) feedback of oceanic low-thick clouds, due to their decreasing RFO as temperature rises. This signal is most likely due to El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) activity. When ENSO signals are excluded, boreal winter CRE feedback becomes qualitatively similar to the boreal summer feedback, where several CR groups contribute to the total CRE feedback more evenly. Most CR groups’ CRE feedbacks largely come from changing RFO (e.g., the predominant transition from oceanic cumulus to broken clouds and more occurrences of higher convective clouds with warming temperature). At the same time, low-thick and broken clouds experience optical thinning and decreasing cloud fraction, and these features are more prominent in boreal summer than winter. Overall, the seasonally asymmetric patterns of CRE feedback, primarily due to ENSO, introduce complexity in assessments of CRE feedback.

Cloud Overlap Features from Multi-Year Cloud Radar Observations at the SACOL Site and Comparison with Satellites

Cloud overlap, referring to distinct cloud layers occurring over the same location, is essential for accurately calculating the atmospheric radiation transfer in numerical models, which, in turn, enhances our ability to predict future climate change. In this study, we analyze multi-year cloud overlap properties observed from the Ka-band Zenith Radar (KAZR) at the Semi-Arid Climate and Environment Observatory of Lanzhou University’s (SACOL) site. We conduct a series of statistical analyses and determine the suitable temporal-spatial resolution of 1 h with a 360 m scale for data analysis. Our findings show that the cloud overlap parameter and total cloud fraction are maximized during winter-spring and minimized in summer-autumn, and the extreme value of decorrelation length usually lags one or two seasons. Additionally, we find the cloud overlap assumption has distinct effects on the cloud fraction bias for different cloud types. The random overlap leads to the minimum bias of the cloud fraction for Low-Middle-High (LMH), Low-Middle (LM), and Middle-High (MH) clouds, while the maximum overlap is for Low (L), Middle (M), and High (H) clouds. We also incorporate observations from satellite-based active sensors, including CloudSat, Cloud-Aerosol Lidar, and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO), to refine our study area and specific cases by considering the total cloud fraction and sample size from different datasets. Our analysis reveals that the representativeness of random overlap strengthens and then weakens with increasing layer separations. The decorrelation length varies with the KAZR, CloudSat-CALIPSO, CloudSat, and CALIPSO datasets, measuring 1.43 km, 2.18 km, 2.58 km, and 1.11 km, respectively. For H, MH, and LMH clouds, the average cloud overlap parameter from CloudSat-CALIPSO aligns closely with KAZR. For L, M, and LM clouds, when the level separation of cloud layer pairs are less than 1 km, the representative assumption obtained from different datasets are maximum overlap.

Unveiling the Cosmic Cradle: clustering and massive star formation in the enigmatic Galactic bubble N59

ABSTRACT In this paper, we have conducted an investigation focused on a segment of the Spitzer mid-infrared bubble N59, specifically referred to as R1 within our study. Situated in the inner Galactic plane, this region stands out for its hosting of five 6.7 GHz methanol masers, as well as numerous compact $\mathrm{H}\, \rm {{\small II}}$ regions, massive clumps, filaments, and prominent bright rims. As 6.7 GHz masers are closely linked to the initial phases of high-mass star formation, exploring regions that exhibit a high abundance of these maser detections provides an opportunity to investigate relatively young massive star-forming sites. To characterize the R1 region comprehensively, we utilize multiwavelength (archival) data from optical to radio wavelengths, together with 13CO and C18O data. Utilizing the Gaia DR3 data, we estimate the distance towards the bubble to be 4.66 ± 0.70 kpc. By combining near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) data, we identify 12 Class I and 8 Class II sources within R1. Furthermore, spectral energy distribution (SED) analysis of selected sources reveals the presence of four embedded high-mass sources with masses ranging from 8.70 to 14.20 M⊙. We also identified several O and B-type stars from radio continuum analysis. Our molecular study uncovers two distinct molecular clouds in the region, which, although spatially close, occupy different regions in velocity space. We also find indications of a potential hub-filament system fostering star formation within the confines of R1. Finally, we propose that the feedback from the $\mathrm{H}\, \rm {{\small II}}$ regions has led to the formation of prominent Bright Rimmed Clouds (BRCs) within our region of interest.

Cloud-Type Classification for Southeast China Based on Geostationary Orbit EO Datasets and the LighGBM Model

The study of clouds and their characteristics provides important information for understanding climate change and its impacts as it provides information on weather conditions and forecasting. In this study, Earth observation (EO) data from the FY4A AGRI and Himawari-8 CLP products were used to classify and identify distinct cloud types in southeastern China. To reduce the impact of parallax between geostationary satellites, we proposed adopting a sliding detection method for quality control of cloud-type data. Additionally, the Bayesian optimization method was employed herein to tune the hyperparameters of the LightGBM model. Our study results demonstrated that Bayesian optimization significantly increased model performance, resulting in successful cloud-type classification and identification. The simultaneous use of visible and shortwave infrared channels, and brightness temperature difference channels, enhanced the model’s classification performance. Those channels accounted for 43.79% and 21.84% of the overall features, respectively. Certainly, the model in this study outperformed compared with the traditional thresholding method (TT), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF). Results showed a model prediction accuracy of 97.54%, which was higher than that of TT (51.06%), SVM (96.47%), and RF (97.49%). Additionally, the Kappa coefficient of the model was 0.951, indicating the model’s classification results were consistent with the true values. Notably, this performance also surpassed TT (0.351), SVM (0.929), and RF (0.950).

Projectile fragmentation and debris cloud formation behaviour of wavy plates in hypervelocity impact

Continuously increasing micro meteorite and orbital debris (MMOD) in space poses a threat to any manned or unmanned space vehicle with increasing probability of damaging object impact. To address the sufficient level of protection of space vessels, many Whipple shield configurations has been studied for over half a century. Bumper plate of Whipple shields studied in existing literature are flat surfaced plates. In contrast to earlier studies, this paper investigates the reaction of bumper plates with wavy surfaces against hypervelocity impact by analysing how they contribute to projectile fragmentation, formation of debris cloud, and how they dissipate the impact energy. Aluminium plates with four different surface wave profiles (WPs) were numerically investigated under hypervelocity impact conditions to assess their performance on disintegration of the impacting projectile. Fragmentation patterns of spherical aluminium projectile and debris cloud generated by projectile-wavy plate couples were examined and compared with the equivalents observed in flat-surfaced plate impact. A hybrid Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) combined with finite element modelling (FEM) approach was adopted using ANSYS software to simulate hypervelocity impact phenomenon at 3 km/s. Results of the numerical work carried out in this study revealed the distinctive debris cloud generation that has never been reported before in the existing literature. Furthermore, compared to the flat plate, wavy plates are found to be more effective in decreasing the impact energy.

Understanding Cloud Systems’ Structure and Organization Using a Machine’s Self-Learning Approach

Abstract In this study, we introduce a self-supervised deep neural network approach to classify satellite images into independent classes of cloud systems. The driving question of the work is to understand whether our algorithm can capture cloud variability and identify distinct cloud regimes. Ultimately, we want to achieve generalization such that the algorithm can be applied to unseen data and thus help automatically extract relevant information important to atmospheric science and renewable energy applications from the ever-increasing satellite data stream. We use cloud optical depth (COD) retrieved from postprocessed high-resolution Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) satellite data as input for the network. The network’s architecture is based on the DeepCluster, version 2, and consists of a convolutional neural network and a multilayer perceptron, followed by a k-means algorithm. We explore the network’s training capabilities by analyzing the centroids and feature vectors found from progressive minimization of the cross-entropy loss function. By making use of additional MSG retrieval products based on multichannel information, we derive the optimum number of classes to determine independent cloud regimes. We test the network capabilities on COD data from 2013 and find that the trained neural network gives insights into the cloud systems’ persistence and transition probability. The generalization on the 2015 data shows good skills of our algorithm with unseen data, but results depend on the spatial scale of cloud systems. Significance Statement This study uses a self-supervised deep neural network to identify distinct cloud systems from cloud optical depth satellite images over central Europe. Satellite-retrieved products support the physical interpretation of the identified cloud classes and help optimize the number of identified classes. The trained neural network gives insights into cloud systems’ persistence and transition probability. The generalization capacity of the deep neural network with unseen data is promising but depends on the spatial scale of cloud systems.

Finally, with the information obtained, a website will be generated to store some of this information. This virtual environment is a prototype of a recommendation environment for cloud fault tolerance. At first, the recommendation will occur through guided search so that administrators of cloud computing systems can have better conditions to handle failures in their environments

Deep convection, lightning activity and population impact over northwest Mexico: Coastal hotspots from 2009 to 2018

AbstractNorthwest Mexico (NWM) is an extensive region with a humid and unstable environment leading to atmospheric convection during the North American monsoon. Occasionally, extreme events are associated with severe weather, including deep convection, heavy rainfall and frequent lightning. Based on the period from July through September 2009–2018, the present study investigates general characteristics of convection. Geostationary satellites were used to document three‐dimensional cloud cover structures over the mainland, Gulf of California (GOC) and Baja California Peninsula (BCP). The convection developed over the Sierra Madre Occidental (SMO) mountains with a distinct cloud top structure over the southern GOC. In contrast, reduced cloud cover was observed over the peninsula and eastern Pacific Ocean. An active (2014) and inactive (2010) season are examined in more detail; the former had a more favourable environmental setting to support above‐normal convection and rainfall with respect to the 10‐year average. A regional‐scale analysis of lightning was computed with data from a ground‐based sensor network, including date, time and location of more than 16 million records. Major findings include: (1) lightning enhancement occurred in conjunction with deep convection, west of the SMO from the afternoon through the evening, while the gulf entrance became a well‐defined hotspot close to the mainland coastal plains overnight; (2) most lightning‐related deaths were in specific areas near the coastal plains or within isolated regions of the SMO foothills; (3) high exposure is expected in areas with considerable lightning and population located within 100 km from the gulf coastline. These findings are valuable for monitoring monsoon thunderstorms and for improving the ability to provide timely warnings of severe weather.

A Polarized Structured Light Method for the 3D Measurement of High-Reflective Surfaces

The reflection phenomenon exhibited by highly reflective surfaces considerably affects the quality of captured images, thereby rendering the task of structured light (SL) 3D reconstruction. In this paper, a polarized SL method is proposed to address the reconstruction issues on high-reflectance surfaces. The SL system we build in this paper involves a four-channel polarizing camera and a digital light processing (DLP) projector equipped with a polarizer in the lens. The built system enables the simultaneous acquisition of four groups of fringe images, each with different brightness differences. Then, a binary time-multiplexing SL method is adopted to obtain four distinct point clouds. Additionally, a fusion algorithm is proposed to merge the four point clouds into a single, precise, and complete point cloud. Several experiments have been conducted to demonstrate that the proposed method is capable of achieving excellent reconstruction outcomes on highly reflective surfaces.

Marine Cold‐Air Outbreak Snowfall in the North Atlantic: A CloudSat Perspective

AbstractThis study analyzes the influence of marine cold‐air outbreaks (MCAO) on snowfall and cloud properties in the North Atlantic Ocean using CloudSat observations. Comparing reanalysis‐determined MCAO conditions (low‐level instability) against “non‐CAO” conditions, we find that MCAO conditions are associated with predominantly light snowfall rates (<2 mm day−1 liquid water equivalent) whereas non‐CAO conditions are more frequently associated with higher snowfall rates. Near cold‐air sources, such as sea ice or cold continents, MCAO‐forced snowfall rates tend to be more frequent and more intense. Additionally, 76% of snowing clouds identified during MCAO conditions are shallow (mean cloud top height <3 km) stratocumulus, whereas 44% (43%) of clouds in non‐CAO conditions are deeper nimbostratus (stratocumulus). With greater boundary layer instability (stronger MCAO conditions), CloudSat observes higher cloud‐top heights, reflecting a deepening boundary layer and the presence of two distinct cloud modes during MCAO conditions.

Performance Analysis of Machine Learning Centered Workload Prediction Models for Cloud

The precise estimation of resource usage is a complex and challenging issue due to the high variability and dimensionality of heterogeneous service types and dynamic workloads. Over the last few years, the prediction of resource usage and traffic has received ample attention from the research community. Many machine learning-based workload forecasting models have been developed by exploiting their computational power and learning capabilities. This paper presents the first systematic survey cum performance analysis-based comparative study of diversified machine learning-driven cloud workload prediction models. The discussion initiates with the significance of predictive resource management followed by a schematic description, operational design, motivation, and challenges concerning these workload prediction models. Classification and taxonomy of different prediction approaches into five distinct categories are presented focusing on the theoretical concepts and mathematical functioning of the existing state-of-the-art workload prediction methods. The most prominent prediction approaches belonging to a distinct class of machine learning models are thoroughly surveyed and compared. All five classified machine learning-based workload prediction models are implemented on a common platform for systematic investigation and comparison using three distinct benchmark cloud workload traces via experimental analysis. The essential key performance indicators of state-of-the-art approaches are evaluated for comparison and the paper is concluded by discussing the trade-offs and notable remarks.

A cloud computing signifies a novel computing paradigm that endorses reactive delivery of resources and services. A distinctive cloud service of such data center deploys over many computing nodes requesting services from the data centers. The organization of resources and trustworthiness of client is a hot topic of research in cloud computing. One of the major threats in cloud computing is unauthorized access of hardware and their resources. To conquer the issue, this novel work proposes an Optimal Resource Trust line prediction using Genetic Algorithm (GAORTL). The main aim of the work is to find the allocated optimal resource utilization of clients through an evolutionary algorithm. Implementation is evaluated to prove the benefit of the algorithm. Subsequently, we perform a comprehensive investigation that the proposed GAORTL delivers a better prediction of trustworthiness in variety of client sizes for a big scale batch of occurrences.
