Virtual numbers for virtual machines?

, 2014
Knowing the number of virtual machines (VMs) that a cloud physical hardware can (further) support is critical as it has implications on provisioning and hardware procurement. However, current methods for estimating the maximum number of VMs possible on a

Climatology of Cirrus Clouds over Observatory of Haute-Provence (France) Using Multivariate Analyses on Lidar Profiles

Atmosphere
This study aims to achieve the classification of the cirrus clouds over the Observatory of Haute-Provence (OHP) in France. Rayleigh–Mie–Raman lidar measurements, in conjunction with the ERA5 dataset, are analyzed to provide geometrical morphology and ...

Identifying and Characterizing Dust-Induced Cirrus Clouds by Synergic Use of Satellite Data

Remote Sensing
Cirrus clouds cover 25% of the Earth at any given time. However, significant uncertainties remain in our understanding of cirrus cloud formation, in particular, how it is impacted by aerosols.

A New Prognostic Parameterization of Subgrid Ice Supersaturation and Cirrus Clouds in the ICOLMDZ AGCM

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
A new cirrus cloud parameterization for the ICOLMDZ atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) is presented. Prognostic equations for cloud fraction, ice water content and cloudy water vapor are introduced, and the processes that affect these ...

Tropopause and cirrus clouds tops heights

, 2010
Abstract: Cirrus clouds have recently garnered much attention due to their important role and impact on the atmospheric radiative balance. This stresses the need for active remote sensing such as lidar, whose capability to perceive high and optically thin cirrus makes it one of the most accurate systems for cirri study. The dynamic range of backscatter
