Possible mechanisms of summer cirrus clouds over the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 The geographical distributions of summertime cirrus with different cloud top heights above the Tibetan Plateau are investigated by using the 2012–2016 Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) data.

Observation of cirrus clouds with GLORIA during the WISE campaign: detection methods and cirrus characterization [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2021 Cirrus clouds contribute to the general radiation budget of the Earth and play an important role in climate projections. Of special interest are optically thin cirrus clouds close to the tropopause due to the fact that their impact is not yet well ...

Modelling of cirrus clouds – Part 1b: Structuring cirrus clouds by dynamics [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2009 Abstract. A recently developed and validated bulk microphysics scheme for modelling cirrus clouds (Spichtinger and Gierens, 2009), implemented into the anelastic non-hydrostatic model EULAG is used for investigation of the impact of dynamics on the evolution of an arctic cirrostratus.

Technical note: Identification of two ice-nucleating regimes for dust-related cirrus clouds based on the relationship between number concentrations of ice-nucleating particles and ice crystals [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022 Large amounts of dust aerosols are lifted to the upper troposphere every year and play a major role in cirrus formation by acting as efficient ice nuclei.

Characterisation of the artificial neural network CiPS for cirrus cloud remote sensing with MSG/SEVIRI [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2017 Cirrus clouds remain one of the key uncertainties in atmospheric research. To better understand the properties and physical processes of cirrus clouds, accurate large-scale observations from satellites are required.

Meteorological 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.

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