Clouds are surrounded by a wide (>10 km) transition zone of enhanced particle size and light scattering. This transition zone needs to be considered in studies of aerosol radiative effects and aerosol-cloud interactions. 3D radiative processes play an important role in enhancing clear sky solar reflectance near clouds. A simple two-layer model shows promise for considering these processes in passive satellite remote sensing. A synergy of passive (MODIS, CERES and WFC) and active remote sensing (CALIOP) can help better understand and measure aerosol properties near clouds.
