Interpretation of cirrus cloud properties using coincident satellite and lidar data during the FIRE cirrus IFO

, 1990
The First ISCCP Regional Experiment (FIRE) Cirrus Intensive Field Observations (IFO) provide an opportunity to examine the relationships between the satellite observed radiances and various parameters which describe the bulk properties of clouds, such as

Evaluating Ice Microphysics in NWP Models with Satellite Observations

, 2013
Ice clouds are an important part of the Earth’s atmospheric water cycle and have a large impact on the global radiation budget. Yet ice clouds are still poorly understood and their correct representation remains a major challenge for state-of-the-art ...

Potential Radiative Impact of Contrail Coverage over Continental USA Estimated from AVHRR Data

, 1999
Contrails are a potential factor in anthropogenic climate change because they often form in aircraft exhaust and can develop into persistent cirrus clouds.

Cirrus scenes in Barcelona, Spain: Geometrical and optical properties and radiative effects

For the first time, geometrical, optical and radiative properties of cirrus clouds, measured with a Polarized Micro Pulse Lidar (P-MPL) in Barcelona, have been analysed. For this purpose, the identification of cirrus scenes and the application of the two-

Remote sounding through semi-transparent cirrus cloud

, 1990
A large portion of the earth is covered by thin semi-transparent cirrus cloud. The cirrus results from the natural injection of moisture into the upper troposphere by deep convection (i.e., anvils) and from man-made moisture injected into the upper ...
