A cloud detection neural network for above-aircraft clouds using airborne cameras
Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2023 For aerosol, cloud, land, and ocean remote sensing, the development of accurate cloud detection methods, or cloud masks, is extremely important. For airborne passive remotesensing, it is also important to identify when clouds are above the aircraft since

Contrail formation within cirrus: ICON-LEM simulations of the impact of cirrus cloud properties on contrail formation [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022 Contrail formation within natural cirrus introduces large perturbations in cirrus ice crystal number concentrations, leading to modifications in cirrus microphysical and optical properties.

Earth and Space Science, 2022 Cirrus clouds of various thicknesses and radiative characteristics extend over much of the tropics, especially around deep convection. They are difficult to observe due to their high altitude and sometimes small optical depths. They are also difficult to

Tropical Cirrus in Global Storm‐Resolving Models: 1. Role of Deep Convection
Earth and Space Science, 2022 Pervasive cirrus clouds in the upper troposphere and tropical tropopause layer (TTL) influence the climate by altering the top‐of‐atmosphere radiation balance and stratospheric water vapor budget.

Differences in microphysical properties of cirrus at high and mid-latitudes [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 Despite their proven importance for the atmospheric radiative energy budget, the effect of cirrus on climate and the magnitude of their modification by human activity is not well quantified. Besides anthropogenic pollution sources on the ground, aviation

Long-Range Transport of Water Channelized through the Southern Subtropical Jet
Atmosphere, 2018 In this study, an air mass (containing a cirrus cloud) was detected by light detection and ranging (lidar) above São Paulo (Brazil) in June 2007 and tracked around the globe, thanks to Lagrangian calculations as well as ground-based and satellite ...

, 2002 A contrail (a term introduced for “condensation trail” in 1942 by British pilots) is a visible cloud forming behind aircraft, mainly due to water vapor emissions from the engines. Contrails were first observed behind propeller-driven aircraft in 1915 but form as well from the exhaust of jet engines in cold ambient air (Schumann 1996a).
