A microphysics guide to cirrus clouds – Part 1: Cirrus types [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 The microphysical and radiative properties of cirrus clouds continue to be beyond understanding and thus still represent one of the largest uncertainties in the prediction of the Earth's climate (IPCC, 2013).

A One Year Landsat 8 Conterminous United States Study of Cirrus and Non-Cirrus Clouds
Remote Sensing, 2015 The first year of available Landsat 8 data over the conterminous United States (CONUS), composed of 11,296 acquisitions sensed over more than 11 thousand million 30 m pixel locations, was analyzed comparing the spatial and temporal incidence of 30 m ...

Most long-lived contrails form within cirrus clouds with uncertain climate impact [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsContrail-cirrus is considered the most important component of aviation-induced climate impact. However, a reliable assessment requires better understanding of their radiative effects.

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023 Cirrus cloud contributes significantly to earth's radiation budget and the greenhouse effect. The Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) onboard the Himawari-8 satellite lacks a 1.37 μm band, sensitive to monitoring cirrus clouds.

Low voltage environmentally friendly plasma electrolytic oxidation process for titanium alloys
Scientific Reports, 2022 Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is a surface-treatment process extensively used to protect the surfaces of light metals such as Mg, Al, and Ti. Here, we report an environmentally friendly PEO process that uses nitrogen-containing electrolytes and low

An Observational Constraint on Aviation‐Induced Cirrus From the COVID‐19‐Induced Flight Disruption
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Global aviation dropped precipitously during the Covid‐19 pandemic, providing an unprecedented opportunity to study aviation‐induced cirrus (AIC). AIC is believed to be responsible for over half of aviation‐related radiative forcing, but until now, its ...

Observations of microphysical properties and radiative effects of a contrail cirrus outbreak over the North Atlantic [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 Contrail cirrus constitute the largest radiative forcing (RF) component to the total aviation effect on climate. However, the microphysical properties and radiative effects of contrail cirrus and natural cirrus clouds in the same meteorological ...
