Halo ratio from ground based all-sky imaging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
© Author(s) 2019.The halo ratio (HR) is a quantitative measure characterizing the occurrence of the 22 halo peak associated with cirrus. We propose to obtain it from an approximation to the scattering phase function (SPF) derived from allsky imaging ...

CIRRUS REMOVAL IN MULTISPECTRAL DATAWITHOUT 1.38μM SPECTRAL DATA [PDF]

open access: yesISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016
Cirrus is one of the most common artifacts in the remotely sensed optical data. Contrary to the low altitude (1-3 km) cloud the cirrus cloud (8-20 km) is semitransparent and the extinction (cirrus influence) of the upward reflected solar radiance can be ...

Cirrus and water vapor in the tropical tropopause layer observed by Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) is sensitive to water vapor and ozone in the lower stratosphere. The Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer (CLAES), another of the instruments on UARS, has a spatial and ...

Depolarization Ratio Profiles Calibration and Observations of Aerosol and Cloud in the Tibetan Plateau Based on Polarization Raman Lidar

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
A brief description of the Water vapor, Cloud and Aerosol Lidar (WACAL) system is provided. To calibrate the volume linear depolarization ratio, the concept of “ Δ 90 ° -calibration” is applied in this study. This effective and accurate calibration

Cirrus Clouds [PDF]

open access: yesMeteorological Monographs, 2017
Abstract The goal of this chapter is to synthesize information about what is now known about one of the three main types of clouds, cirrus, and to identify areas where more knowledge is needed. Cirrus clouds, composed of ice particles, form in the upper troposphere, where temperatures are generally below −30°C.

Midlatitude cirrus classification at Rome Tor Vergata through a multichannel Raman–Mie–Rayleigh lidar [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013
A methodology to identify and characterize cirrus clouds has been developed and applied to the multichannel-multiwavelength Rayleigh–Mie–Raman (RMR) lidar in Rome Tor Vergata (RTV).

Thin and subvisible cirrus and contrails in a subsaturated environment [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011
The frequency of occurrence of cirrus clouds and contrails, their life time, ice crystal size spectra and thus their radiative properties depend strongly on the ambient distribution of the relative humidity with respect to ice (RH<sub>ice< ...

A WRF Simulation of an Episode of Contrails Covering the Entire Sky

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2016
On 21 September 2012 the entire sky was covered by contrails over the Gulf of Lyon (NW of the Mediterranean basin). These clouds were well recorded by ground observers as well as by Meteosat imagery.

Shallow cirrus convection – a source for ice supersaturation [PDF]

open access: yesTellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2014
The origin and persistence of high ice supersaturation is still not well understood. In this study, the impact of local dynamics as source for ice supersaturation inside cirrus clouds is investigated.

Tracing Intersectionality, Individual and Familial Struggle in Morrison’s Novels: A Digital Humanities Study

open access: yesCorporum, 2023
Since close reading is a time-consuming activity to explore quantified information from literary works, the digital natives of the modern age have started to build big databases of literary works to knowledge patterns.
